NOT LOOKING FOR THE PRO-TOURING LOOK, BUT, MY NEAT LITTLE 67 4DR DART 270 HAS CHEAPIE TIRES.

THE LOCAL TIRE STORE HAS NO INFO ON A CAR PRIOR TO 1979. I HAVE 13-INCH RIMS THAT I WANT TO RETAIN WITH A 7 1/4 INCH REAR. SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE STOUT ON BACK WOULD BE NICE FOR TOWING A 1969 WINDSOR CAMPER, KEEPS THE SWAY DOWN A BIT. ANY INPUTS?

The max tire size for those 13" rims would be about 195/70 or 185/70. How big and heavy is that trailer? Those 9" brakes have a problem with stopping the car, adding a trailer makes the situation worse.

If you wanted to step up to 14" rims, I have 4 steel SBP rims I could let go of. I'm only 3 hrs. away from you.

Eeek!
towing a trailer with 13" rims and 9" brakes sounds like a nightmare i once had!

All kidding aside, kesteb was on the money with the size for a 13" donut. If at all possible up the ante to 14's and pop for some 205/70's or some 215's-- wider footprints, more availibility, better load capacity.

Now about those brakes...

-JYH

lol... I was hoping at one point to hook a car hauler to my original '69 Dart...

hey, at least it's not ON the car hauler.

Okay, Bmimken was a tremendous help, JUNKYARDHERO brought in the kind stuff I also needed.

Here is my end Idea. 14" rims, rear only with 205/70's.

See also my topic on "Droopy Rear" in this section.

Thanks everybody. your a great help.
