The wheels that came on my '72 Duster were 14" wheels. Now that I have done the swap to disc brakes with 4 1/2" BC will a set of 15" wheels fit on the front of the DUster?

A set of 15" x 7" wheels from a police Diplomat or Gran Fury ought to fit nicely.

Fifteen inch Ralley wheels look great on a Duster, and you will have no clearance problems provided you keep the tires under 225 or so. You can go bigger, but things get dicey. 205 is the size I like best on these old A body cars. Nice compromise between handling, and economy.

A little Off Topic, but wasn't there a website where you could view how your vehicle would look with various tire/wheel choices?

Try the American Racing website. Look at the top under "Applications" and then select "Wheels visualisation". You will be redirected to "Next Wheels Online". Once this has loaded pick your car, pick your wheels and away you go.
Find it here.........

If it doesn't work you may need to load Java which you'll find here.........

Happy hunting :wink:

Dusters are blessed with large rear wheel openings compared to a swinger or valiant. I stuff as much tire under the rear as I can . Set the ride height to have a slight rake and use a bit smaller tire in front.
