No I have not had an interference. I did mock up cardboard templates to simulate the tires and rims on the car, before purchasing. Im glad I did, everything fits and is maxed out fit for my car.
Rear tires have 1" between fender lip and widest part of the tire. So good clearance for bumps. The fronts...well good clearance except at full lock...very close.
First drive thoughts...
No rubbing, not even over larger rolling bumps.
Tires hook well in straight line
Hard cornering they do not...
Installed new 7" x 17 front and 8" x 17" rear by US Wheels with Nitto 555. This paired with a refeshed front end suspension , I am looking forward to carving curves with the Cuda. One photos shows the 6x14 Polys vs Nittos
wow and WOW, what a positive change in my Cuda front end. I finally went out for a drive since rebuilding the front end and incredible! it rides so firm, not harsh ,and I have a lot of confidence in the front end handling now. No more rattles, no more wandering ( I thought it was from the...
Thanks to many posts on forebodiesonly.com I went with the QA1 UCA and LCA upgrades. Everything went well, no issues and QA1 product is top notch and fit perfectly.
The 50+ year old LCA was very poor condition, UCA had newer ball joints so not as bad however I wanted a matched set for the...
I am upgrading my Cuda to 17" rims and G2 Nittos so selling my F70 -14 Poly's, Rims and Center Caps.
Tires and Center Caps bought new in 2021, rims are OEM older/cleaned up and painted.
Tires have plenty of life left in them.

Second trip out after adding +4 oz (8oz total) Friction Modifier did not seem to change any symptoms. So I decided to give it a more aggressive drive. WOW the 3.91 made a big difference for my stock 340 setup, even catch a "chirp" from 2nd to 3rd at WOT with stock 727 trans.
I may just need to...
Here is the unit I purchased. I added more friction modifier and will take it for a longer drive this weekend and report back.
Yukon Dropout Assembly, Chrysler 8.75” Diff 489 Case w/Sure-Grip LSD, 3.91 Ratio
I spoke with Yukon and here was there feedback. I only have about 10 miles on the new diff, so it may need more breakin time. Im also going to add +4 oz Mopar Friction modifier before my next drive and Ill report back.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
I purchased a new Yukon SG 3.91 case 489 for my 73 Cuda and removed the peg leg 3.23. I have swapped diffs many times and never encountered an issue, except this time.
Install went fine no issues, I 2x checked end play, added Valvoline 80/90 gear oil and...
Thanks in advance. I have a stock '73 340 with open diff 3.23. Im going to 3.91's to give it more bottom end. I wont mind the high revs, its a street car very little highway time. Will a suregrip be needed with 3.91's or with a stock 340, is a sure grip really overkill and I should just swap the...
Thanks in advance. I want to refresh the white highlight paint that shows off the selections (high, low, off, etc) that has faded on my heater control panel. What paint is used for this? I might try a bright white touch up paint from local auto store or model paint, so long as it has a small...
Thanks for the feedback. The new wiring has no bulkhead connectors, unlike the factory wiring harness. The bulkhead is where I use to find the issues with melted wiring.
Your right in regards to full power going into the car, however this must pass through a fusible in the engine bay first, so...
