how big of a tire, height and width, will a 68 barracuda rear wheel well hold? some input on spring reloction would be great to

thanks
 
255/60-15 some of the members might be able to fit a 265 but it would be really close.

are they actually in the wheel well or do they stick out? do you have any trouble with them rubbing ?or throwing stones on your paint? they really look great got anymore picsof the the whole car

No rubbing anywhere but plenty of rubber gets splattered on the back of the quarters. Here is another picture with the same tires. The rims in this pict are 15 x 8.5. they stick out as much as they do because slotted wheels don't usually have much backspacing. These are only about 3.5" backspace. There is plenty of room to have 4.5" backspacing. You can go with a wider tire, just not taller.
