I am, yes. It's about 1" narrower than stock. I'm overdue to get the Percy's tool on it anyway, so I need to do that.

That looks tight to the leaf springs. What kind of clearance do you have between the springs and tires?
Thanks! Do you know what the back spacing is on those wheels?
4.25" B.S. and They're not Vintique but actually made by Specialty Wheel, sold by Coker Tire

Mine are on a '66 Barracuda and a '66 Valiant Conv. I also have 215/70/14's on a '66 Barracuda, and some 235/60/14's on a '66 Barracuda. They all have enough clearance so far, but, I don't use them for slalom racing or off road, so, haven't tested them to the extreme. I can get 9/28/14" slicks on the back if I trim just a little off the wheel opening lip edge to keep from cutting the sidewall. This is on some slotted mags, stock 8 3/4 rear, and stock spring location.
lol Yeah, all I want is spirited cruising at best. I won't be rollin the tires over on the sidewalls. lol Thanks for the input.
What kinda clearance on the outside?
Awesome. Thank you!

Thats super clean brotha ! This is the exact set up I am looking to do you mentioned they are 14 x5 x 5" backspacing on the front ? And the back ?
No, Stock 5.5" Rally on the Front (3.5" BS I think)
and 7" Rally on the Rear with a 4.25" BS
Here's a Better Pic of how they fit... and I'm considering trying these 195/70 R14 on the Front

I think a Stock Rally is 3.5" B.S. Somebody Please correct that if I'm wrong.

What does 5.5 mean ?

Are your springs stock height ? Or +1 ? Also would your tires rub if you sat the rear a little level on the rear rim ?
What do you do when running two vastly different diameters? Do you carry two spares?
5 1/2 Inches Wide! (5.5")
I have a 195/70 in the Trunk (24.7") 225/60 on the Front (24.6") the 245 is an Inch bigger 25.6" it's not 4 Wheel drive and has an Open Rear So, No Problem!
These are 225/70/14 all around on 5.5” steelies. And for the record, 215 is the maximum “recommended” size for a 5.5” rim
Here's a calculator. I passed by it a few times simply because they mis spell "Tyre". Their charts work though. Tyre Size for Rim Size/Width Calculator - What's the best tyre size for my rim?
Yep. They are on my 66.
