1969 Barracuda Restore Rim Selection

[Ron Coles]

Doing a restore on a 1969 Barracuda fastback. Went 15" with disc brakes on front and 15" with drops on back. Want to go with Cragar SS rims. Wondering what anyone has used for rim sizes and tire sizes on similar restores. Thanks!

A "restore" would be what came on it from the factory. Sounds like you have already changed things so your gonna have to figure out your back spacing. There are many threads on how to do that but your gonna have to have a starting point.

Mostly.

I have kept all the original stuff mostly, short of the wheels and tires. This can be easily rectified in the long run! I Kept all the 4” pattern stuff and on the car today so even easier. To the OP think ahead! It may not matter as in the long run these cars are worth more as custom than original! So Go all out!

Maybe save the original stuff for resale or just in case if the original comes back into favor!

I saved all the original kit down to recall rims.

A black Barracuda, that will look badass. If you put all the trim back on Cragar SS or Magnum will match quite good. Can't really help you with the tire size, but looking forward to seeing the progress of your project.

Cheers Wolfgang

Thank you. Going with Cragar SS. All chrome is going back on.

Probably looking at a 15x7 out back, 15x6 up front.

I did 15x8 back and 15x6 sbp Cragars on front. I like the deeper wheel look on the back. I bought them from Jegs

Heres our 67. Rear tires are 245/60/15, kept the original sbp.

I did 195 60R15 front and 235 60R15 back. Wish I would have went one size up on both.
