Your Dart is a beauty. Rims and tires look great. Can you post a pic of the area you're concerned about?

Hi Ski... Here's the pics of the tire clearance on my Dart. On the drivers side it's about 3/4 inch... less on the pass-side. I mean... the tires do not touch the
fenders at all... but would they say if I was cornering hard & braking? Lots 'o windy roads here in NH!!! Mike

Hi Ski, It will probably never hit... but rolling those very pointed ends in just
a tad... can't hurt. I would like to know what others on the list think? Thanks!
