Considering building a '69 340 Dart Stocker and want to know what size rear wheel/tire combo can fit in the little rear wheelwells. Need wheel width and backspace numbers and tire diameter and width numbers. Also what wheel lip mods done if any. Will be running Calvert rear suspension. I'm assuming offset hangers or shackles aren't legal.
All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks Much!!! Todd |

Todd,
I have a Volare Stocker (F body not an A body) and I just put a new set of Hole Shot wheels on it replacing the Welds it had. The rear wheel back spacing I used was 4 7/8" which gives me 5/8" clearance to the Calvert springs. The Welds that I replaced were 4 1/2" backspacing.This is with no wheel lip massaging and an stock width 8 3/4 rear. I'm not sure but I if the back spacing on the A body and the F body are the same but I have been told they are. Jim

You can BARELY FIT 9.0 radial with some lip massage. Calvert makes a narrower rear monoleaf that make a big difference. Still no walk in the park!
