Anyone running these on the back of there 1967 Barracuda? I just ordered a set from Summit (Clearance sale!!!!!!!!) $127.00 each! I am hoping to fit P255/60/15 tires (BF Goodrich radial T/A's). I hope they fit! Im running super stock springs. What do you think? WIll I have any clearance issues?
 
wow, for that price if there were a problem i'm sure just using the offset l shackle kit will do the trick.

Yeah! What a deal! they were $160 something last week. When I logged on Friday they were $127. I called and they had 4 on the shelf. I ordered Two for the rear. If they dont fit, I can always sell them. Its a risk but not an expensive one!.....I also ordered two of the 15x7's for the front at "normal" price. No clearance on them...*sigh* Ill post and let everyone know how they fit once I get them. There always seems to be tire/wheel questions people need answered. I'll be the test dummy!..lol
 
Ok, here's the deal, there seems to be alot of talk about what fits the 1967-1969 Barracuda as far as wheels and tires go. On my 1967, I bought a pair of 15x8 crager SS wheels from summit and installed a set of P255/60/15 BF goodrich tires. The wheels are 4.250 backspace off the shelf. No custom offset here!. They fit great!

Now on the front, I went with a set of the Same, Crager SS wheels. They are 15x7 with an offset of 4.125 off the shelf. I tried to run a set of P235/60/15 but they were way to wide/tall and hit the fender on a turn. I had to take some careful measurments and found that a P215/60/15 was the largest I could fit. So be it and it works!

Hope this helps, Any questions or if you need pics...I have them. Thanks all!

I am still running the small bolt pattern, I tried to post some pics but it would not let me for some reason. Is it possible to post a pic within a post?
 
i just brought home my new wheels and tires. I went with the keystone Klassics because I love the black insert with my black car. Anyways, I have a 15x8 with 3 7/8 backspace for the rear. I have a 255/60r15 on it. The fronts are 15x6 with I think 3 1/8 backspace. Got a 215/60r15 there. I just set them next to the car at noon and I'll be surprised if I can get that 255 under there.....that's a big tire! BTW....4 1/2 inch bolt pattern
 
Yup, you can submit a pic within a post. Go to "Advance" reply, then scroll down to "Manage Attachments", find and upload your photo, then submit reply. That should work for you.
 
the 215/60r15 are not going to work on the fronts. they hit the front of the fender. man...seems like a 25" diameter tire should work there.
 
I,m going to go with torque thrust 2 in 17x6 and 17x7.The ones on my car are 14x6 crager ss and will be for sale soon. i'm changing to big lug pattern.wheels and tires with 1500 miles, lug nuts,and center caps $500.00

Its not rim diameter its tire diameter that will mess up the speedometer.

Correct. But remember that a 215-60-14 and a 215-60-15 wont be the same height.
