Think about 12.5 inches ).

Again 10 inch rim with 5 BS or 8 with 4. You can add another 1/2 inch
BS with the offset Kit ( Move it about .8 despite what Mopar used to claim.

Calvert makes a narrow rear spring which would help(I do not have it)

John - do you have the Calvert part number for this narrow spring? Split mono, I assume?

Thanks - Mike.

Sorry to the OP, no hi-jack intended.

Mike: Call John Calvert Racing direct in Lancaster Cal. I will take to him
in Phoenix next week....I do not think it is in Catalog yet but is .available now.

I cleaned out the box.....It does that a lot (That is Fill Up)!

Calvert makes a kit that fits inside the Mopar inboard spring kit boxes. (Where you notch out the rear frame and weld in the boxes). On my duster I used this kit with tubs and was able to fit the M/T 12.2 radial on the car. It did however take substantial trimming at the front and back of the wheel well. If I recall correctly I used 10x12 wheels with 7" back spacing.
