Default 14x8's on the back of a 70 dart

Just bought a set of U.S. Indy 5 slot mags 14x7 in front and 14x8
in back. They came off of a duster but the guy said the guy he bought them from had them on a dart, but with a lower profile tire, so they should fit. The guy at les schwab without measuring
said they wouldnt fit without raising the back end up (which I dont want to do).

The suspension is stock, will I have to change anything? I plan on swaping to a 8 3/4 and possibly a spring relocation, but only if I have to. I want to keep the ride hieght stock as well. Any one got any answers?

You didn't say what year Dart you have... I have a 70, and 14X7 with 245-60-R14 fit in the rear tight. Those rear tires are big though, I think the most a Dart can take is about 8.5-9.0 inches of tire at most. This is assuming that the wheels are centered in the wheel well properly. You may have to roll the lips of the 1/4's to make them fit.

L.C.D.

Thanks for the help L.C.D. My dart is a 70. Will the 8's fit with the quarters rolled? My buddy suggested that, but I dont want to do it unless its absolutely necessary. I would hate to do it and still not have enough clearance.
Any suggestions on how I should perform the mod? I thought it might be better to cut the lip off instead of trying to roll it in. But I need advice from people who know before I go cutting stuff up.
