Been working hard on the barracuda this last month. I finished putting in the new brake lines and exhaust system with dynomax ultra flow mufflers out the back bumper. So it was time to see how the new rims and tires looked.
We'll what do think; Mickey Thompson ET Drags wheels and Sportsman tires?

Sucks! You better give them to me, I'm not so picky! lol I think they look great and nostalgic too.
 
looks great in the rear
the front rimsize needs to come down a few inches though
 
No I don't know what size they are diameter wise. They look like 15" front and rear to me. That is why I was asking what you meant when you said a few inches smaller?

Love the color or your car!

How did you get the 26" tire to fit on the front? I just bought the same wheels for mine w 1.75 bs and I don't think I can get a 26 to clear the front of the wheel well when I turn the wheel??? What is your front suspension setup?

Those wheels look awesome!!!!! I have the exact ones on my '68 barracuda and get tons of compliments. You don't have a lead on a 15x10 with 4.5" BS do you in that wheel?

Wheels and tires look good.

Sits really high. Drop it about 4".

Would you mind giving me some specs on your front setup? Trying to figure out how to get a bigger tire on mine ... seems like 24" tire is all I can fit...

Also: the guy I just bought mine from may still have some available ... i'll check if he has 15x10's

I run the Muckey Thompson Sportsman s/r 26x6 with plenty of room, no trimming required on my car. If you don't mind me asking where did you buy your wheels from?

Note in the top pic. I lowered the rear a little more after the original pics. Too much rake for my taste

What is your suspension setup? I have '74 and up spindles and factory discs ... I'm wondering if that pushed my wheel location up in the wheel well?

I got my M/T's from a guy on Racing Junk. He texted me back this morning and only has 15x10 in chevy pattern.
