I have been researching what sizes of tires I could use on my 66 Barracuda I have read all the old threads [I could dig up in a search] and felt that what I had decided [thanks to ya'lls threads] to do would work, so I did it this morning. My 66 is bone stock in the rear other than the previous owner replaced the stock sagging springs with J.C. Whitney high lift springs [remember those?] I removed 2 leaves [cause it was too high] and added a 1 inch block for a total drop of 3 inches or so. On the front I have converted to SSBC stainless disk conversion [ssbc-A153] and lowered the front [torsion bars] around 2 inches lower [measured at top of fender lip] or so.I still have small bolt pattern all around [however I have all right hand lugs] I'm running Wheel Vintiques mopar rallye wheels-REAR/ 14x7-5x4 bolt ctr-4 1/4 inch. back space [pn# 61-4754044] with BFGoodrich 245/60/14 [pn#BFG-96965] FRONT/14X6-5X4 bolt ctr-4 inch. back space [pn#61-465404] with BFGoodrich 235/60/14 [pn#BFG-61144] With no rubbing full turn lock to lock and plenty of clearance in the rear for the springs and fender wells. I do believe when I replace these shoes [these were a used set I purchased] i'm gonna go with 245s in the rear and 215 70s up front [235s are a little wide for the front,thank god I got power steering].
