17 inch rims on my 65 Barracuda

[scottylack]

put duster discs up front ... 8 1/4 on the rear ... you think I can get 17x7 Cragar rims up front on this car...? I'm pretty sure I can do the back I'm sure I would have to do a small tire up front ...like a 225/50 or so ...sure I can get a 235/60 out back

really want 16's but nobody makes the ones I want ...

I like a little more rubber ... I would love 16's , but not too many styles in this size fo some reason...almost thought about enlarging the rear wheel area....

I've got 17's on my 65, and have 275's on them. My springs are moved in for clearence, but stock wheel well

 

[scottylack]

[Keith Mopar]

my rear rims are 17 X 9, and front 17 X 8.

Extremy nice 66 Cuda DJV...your car a real nice stance.
I remember seeing it going to the drags in carlisle last year.

better off with a 17 or 18" rim. so many more tire/rim choices out there for them.

Any more pictures?

My car is now all apart and in primer. (engine and trans back out)

I have some old pics of when I first fitted them. I origanally tried 265's and they fit with still some room so I then put on the 275's and still cleared. On the front I have 225 45 17's. The rear rims have a 6" offset or +24mm

Here are the old pics....
