Will a 1965 barracuda fit 235/60-15 on 15' x 7" rims on all four corners? I don't know the backspace. I am figuring it is standard. Thanks.

I was able to put 235/60 X 15 on the Back with super stock springs but they rubbed with out the extra height from the SS springs. I was able to use 235/60 X 14 all the way around with stock 7 X14 (BBP) inch rims but aftermarket rims with different backspacing may not work.

with the 73-up front discs they would definitly rub the front lower edge of the front fender on my car. I moved the rear springs inward 3/4" and had a b-body rear narrowed to fit and 255/60R-15's fit like a glove. Don't think you want to go through all that though.

With the right offset wheels you can fit them on the back. I had an F60/14 tire that I think was a bit wider than your tire on the back of my 64 (exactly the same body as a 65) & it fit with no problems. Search for posts by me from quite a while back & you'll find pics & info on how they fit my car. I don't think you can get away with that tall of a tire on front. Watch for interference with the wheel at the outer edge of the upper control arm & where the tie rod attaches to the spindle. I also had some problems with the front tires hitting the lower front edge of the wheel opening when I used an E70/14 tire. Went to an E60/14 & all was fine when I used the same wheels as on the back with the addition of a 7/16" (I think) spacer. I wouldn't recommend spacers though. The post I mentioned gives measurements for the F60 tire. The E70 &E60 tires are long gone so I can't give any dimensions for them.

So, what is the car that you have those tires on?? The trim and wheelwell/quarter panel don't seem to be the as my shape as my 64ragtops.
