Post subject:	wheels and tires for a 70 duster
im planning on upgrading the wheels and tires on my 70 duster i know NOTHING about wheels and tires ive tried to read a few pages that explain everthing and am even more confused so im coming to you guys for some guidance background info....it is a small bolt pattern car, these while be strictly for drag racing im planning on saving my current wheels for driving the car around i think the limit on tire width in the street class is 10.5 inches but im not sure i would like to go with the max here i was looking at the goodyear comp t/a drag radials for the rear im still unsure of what to run up front...sumthing narrower than stock to reduce the weight and friction maybe a tire thats about 3 or four inches wide i hope this is the info i need to give you guys for sum suggestions if i left anything out please let me know maybe sumbody could inform me on what they are running thanks for any help

there are no options for wheels and tires in a ten" width for the small bolt circle a body. there are four wheel styles available if i remember right and none of them are wider than 7". none of them are any bigger than 14". as for the front i might suggest something in the neighborhood of a 185-75-14 or a 195-75-14. as for the rear good luck finding a drag tire for your 14"wheels. i have never looked so i dont know if they are out there but i do know about the wheels. if you were to take a 14" steel wheel and a 15"x10" steel wheel to a macine shop, they MIGHT be able to put the two together to make a 15" steel wheel that would fit your car. either way, i work in a tire store so any q's let me know. randyfeik@hotmail.com good luck-Randy

There are a lot of companies that can modify your steel wheels to any size or offset you want. I can't remember the name, but I had someone out in either Colorado or Oregon widen the 4" bolt circle Ralley wheels for the back of my Duster from 5.5" to 7". A guy once gave me a cool set of 4" b/c "chrome reverse" wheels which were 9" wide. With some L6014's (can't remember the P-metric equivalent) they fit super snug up under the back of a '71 Twister I owned, didn't rub, and looked bitchen. D/W

Randy, please stop posting about, there being no 15 inch small bolt pattern wheels available. As far as I know, no one stocks them, because there is not much call for them. However there are several companies, that will make them on a special order basis. Centerline is one, I think Crager, Wheel vintiques, are a few, there are others. Dustu: Are you planning on running a "slick" for racing or a "DOT" legal tire.

Yes, you can get 15" wheels in small bolt patterns. Here's another supplier who sells them: Diamond Racing. http://www.diamondracingwheels.com/ They even sell 15"x18" wheels with the 5x4" bolt pattern.
