![]() The 50 series are worse than the 60s.ĭiminsioning the tubs is pretty easy with any old rim(the wider the better) mounted on on the axle,using nothing more than a plumb-line,a sheet of posterboard taped to the floor, and a stick of wood clamped across the rim edges. And unless you run a very low tire pressure, it will burn off the centers of the treads in no time. ![]() But on 7s, those 275s will corner like crap, unless you really pump up the pressure, which will lift the outside of the tires off the pavement, and then it will hook like crap in straightline mode. Now I have run 275s on 8.5 inch rims(68Barracuda) and that works very well.They corner reasonably well at 28psi, straightline well at 24psi, and have a long treadlife at 26psi. But with not enough, you are kinda screwed, cuz the tire is into the fender.Īs a side note The checking rim for a 275 was probably also a 7.5 inch rim, making a 275 tire on an 8incher about 287mm or 11.3inch section.And on a 7incher it might be 265mm, or 10.4. Then the bs.Īnd as to bs A hair too much is better than not enough, cuz with too much you can add a wheel spacer. So the order of things is this choose the tire. The profile on the 8 inchers will not give much,if any, wiggle room for aggressive cornering.On 7s you can corner body wise, but you will need to run a higher tire pressure to avoid the tires rolling over the treads, which causes the back-end to steer the car. Now heres another thing you need to consider your driving style. And for straight-lining, a tall tire is what you need in a Dart tub. As the tire gets taller it starts to rub on other things in there. But the fender lip and inner tub wall is not always the trouble spot. But you for sure need to stay away from the fender lip 3/4 to 1 inch depending on the body sway, and rearend side-shift,which increases with higher arched springs. About a half inch if the tire is well supported. But you have to stay away from the spring side of the tub if you are into cornering. Now to make this successful with an 8incher, it will have to be very carefully centered.And here's the trick you can run the tire sidewall pretty close to the spring,say 1/8. But if you mount it on a 7 inch rim the profile might diminish those same 6 to 10 mm, making it a 259 to 255 section,or 10.2 to 10.0. If you put a 265 on an 8inch rim it will grow perhaps 6 to 10 mm making it a 271 to 275mm or 10.7 to 10.8 inch section. 7 checking rim, that woulda been on a 7.5 inch rim. Hope this helps! If anyone else know this trick and I explained incorrectly, please comment!If a 10.5 section is all that fits in there, then 10.5 x 25.4mm = closest size to that is a 265 and at a. if you feel that, you need a new bearing there! Slowly, if there is a bad bearing you will feel grinding and maybe even it will be difficult to spin. You are going to spin the hub with the straight whatever. even a longer extension will work, and put it diagonally across the lugs. Then find a straight piece of wood (2" x 4") or if you don't mind then a piece of rod or rebar. aka 1 on top and 2 on bottom.ĭon't thread them all the way in, you don't need to. Put 3 of the lug bolts back in going in a star pattern. ![]() Jack the wheel up(make sure the parking brake is NOT set) put it on a stand. I'd start on the back if you think that's the problem area. I don't think this works on auto trans without unlocking the trans or putting it in neutral, for towing purposes. That definitely sounds like a wheel bearing problem! The best way I know to check the wheel bearings.
