'68 Barracuda Notch

If you want 17s and same height front / rear you can go 245/45-17 front on an 17x8, 275/40-17 on the rear on a 17x9.5 I had to run the "low profile" ball joint with my '75 upper control arm spindle combo on the front to make that work. I have a few pictures if you need clarity. It would be best if you have a way to fit test before you buy on the front wheels! Can you fit an 11" wide tire in the back?

Second picture in post #3 of the following link is a 245/45-17 on a 17x8 on the front. A 275/40 is the same sidewall height.

Thanks for the input. I have a running list of pictures I've bookmarked for cars I like (color, wheels, interior, etc.) and yours is one of them because I really like the way those Torq Thrust wheels look. Your car and my car probably started out life looking very similar since mine was originally GG1.

The rear tires don't rub at ride height, so I was thinking maybe once I get it running again I can take it to the tire shop and have them test fit a couple different size wheels or tires to see what works.

I know that I have the newer A body disc brakes up front. Would that mean I have the same upper control arm and spindle as you?
