Will 15x8 inch rims work on a 68 Dart or should I stick with the 15x7 inch rims?

Thanks

id say yes, but the back spacing will be real important, and the tires cant have a big sidewall measurement either. measure measure measure.

Ballpark backspace (BS) #s needed for 8" wheels.
Redrilled stock or aftermarket axles using stock A body brakes, 4"BS.
Aftermarket using 10"x2", 10"x2 1/2" or 11"x 1/2" brakes, 4 1/4"BS.
This BS will tuck the tire under the car the most and should clear the spring. If you run a large tire, ie 275x60-15, the sidewall may touch the leaf spring, just use 1/8" or 1/4" wheelspacers to move it out.
