225 Super Six set-up almost done on my 68 Dart 270. I have "new" set of 14" rally rims primed and painted with small bolt pattern. Putting on a set of BF T/A's Any tire size suggestions? Added extra leaf to lift rear slightly. Prefer look of same tire size all around. |

I like 205/60 or 215/60-14 for that rim (5.5" wide). If you want more comfort and less handling, go for 195/70. Lou |

I'm voting for 205/70R14. |

I happen to have been doing research regarding what tires will fit on my brother's 74 Duster that is using 67 Dart front fenders. Stock 67 Dart tires size was D70x14, which correlates roughly to 185-70-14. There are many online tire calculators that you can use to compare overall diameters and other characteristics of various tire sizes. I like THIS ONE. You can compare up to four tire sizes at once and it lists the recommended rim width as well as changes to the accuracy of the speedometer. Forexample, I am putting 15 x 7 slotted "mag" rims on the front of my brother's Duster. The offset is about 3.5-3.75, not quite the 4 inches used on stock Mopar rims. I will have to use a 205-50-15 or 205-55-15 tire to clear the tiny wheel opening in the 67 fenders. If the offset was 4 inches I could probably get away with the 205-65-15 on the front now. |

Don't forget the three different wheel sizes available on '67 Darts:13" × 4½" 14" × 4½" 14" × 5½" |

True. I was concerned more with overall diameter and not width since I was using rims wider than any stock rim. |
