15x10 WHEELS ON A BARRACUDA
I made no assumptions about your car. The ride height is clearly visible, it’s higher than stock. And that’s fine, it’s your car.
The only thing I said was that the tires are not “under the car”. If you want to split hairs and say they don’t stick out past the quarters that’s fine. But at a stock ride height those tires would rub. Plain and simple.
I didn’t tell you to lower you car, say it looked bad or comment on anything beyond the fact that those tires would not fit inside the wheel houses. And they won’t, that’s obvious from that picture. Even having the tires even with the outside of the quarters means they won’t fit inside the wheel house, you’ve still got the quarter lip and outer wheelhouse to deal with.
By saying those tires won’t fit in the wheelhouse? They won’t! I said nothing about how it looked or anything else.
On my car I trimmed the quarter lip back until it was even with the edge of the outer wheel house, yes. On the drivers side I got into the wheelhouse a couple times because there was less lip than on the passenger side that I did first so I was a little aggressive with the cut. But the outer wheel house is basically unchanged as far as tire clearance goes.
The last 3/4” of that 14” measurement on the Duster isn’t anything you can put tire in. To put it simply, my Duster is cut back as far as you can go without removing the outer wheelhouse, which gets you about 13.25” from inner wheelhouse to outer wheelhouse.
This is the problem, just look at the wheelhouse from inside the quarter. It doesn't matter that the outside body measurement on the Duster is wider, the wheelhouse is the same. That extra space is just that, extra space you can't put a tire in unless you start moving metal.
