Old member with a new ride.. Plymouth RoadRunner

[Blue70]

Well I sold my 70 Camaro a few years ago and have gone through a few cars since then, but I recently had the opportunity to buy back my old 1974 Road Runner that i restored back around 2001 so I jumped on it.

It’s a 1974 Plymouth Road Runner (yes it’s a Road Runner not a Satellite)
It has a 383, 883 4 speed (with pistol grip) and an 8-3/4 rear with 3.91 gears.

I am looking to upgrade the suspension, brakes, and most importantly the wheels and tires..

I know it’s a long shot, but these cars have HUGE wheel wells, does anyone know what width/backspacing and tire will fit back there?

Anyway..here's a few photos of how it sits now (sorry they are not the best.. I'll get some better ones soon)

hi, congrats for your new (old) 74 RR!

the wheel wells of 74's RR are similarly with my 71 RR...
i mounted on my RR 8x19 on the front and 10x20 rear...both with 4.75" backspace. i want to fit my wheels without any mods on body...
with 235/35 ZR19 and 285/30 ZR20...

and this looks like this...

Very nice.. Thank you

One question..
how much room do you have on the inside between the tire and the springs?

I don't think that's a bad thing at all
