are those the MT slicks?Yes, I've run those on a 15 x 7 wheel on an uncut '67 Barracuda. Rear spacing at 3 7/8 wasn't ideal on these rims, I could have tucked them under the car better with more. I think a 15 x 8 with about 4.5 back space would have been perfect.

i am looking at the same slick in a radial on thisYes. MT 28 x 9 ET Drag
that pretty much looks like mine did. I made a termplate of the orig. curvature and cut the turn in off , then rolled the left over metal in to the inner fender panel keeping the exact curve. Came out real well, but I did it before paint job. got 295 65 16 drag radilals on it w/ 3/4" offset hangars.Your rear almost looks like it's slid forward a little.
no weight on the rear, its sitting on a set of mopar ss springs
ThanksTheir not slicks but I had 28" tall 10" wide ET streets on mine and they cleared. Not a bunch mind you, but they never contacted the opening. Backspacing on my wheels was 4"
remember, the more h.p. and rpm u put to those rear drag tires, the more they grow to a certain point. I ur car is not a beast u probly can get by. put 750 h.p. and 538 gears in it and they`ll grow a bunch.Thanks
I`d suspect the rear is jacked up on all of them tho !All day long have run them on several cars.
Not at all. 8 3/4 rear, stock springs with pinion snubber.I`d suspect the rear is jacked up on all of them tho !

it is a little now w/ the 295`s on it , just a decent rake before.Would you consider the car in your avatar picture not jacked up?
still don`t believe a 28" tall tire , 9" wide will go into a bone stock wheel well on a 68 fish w/o raising it up.it is a little now w/ the 295`s on it , just a decent rake before.
Mine did Bob and they were 10" wide. Not much clearance but they never rubbed. Car isn't jacked up either. In fact i'm running 1" drop Calvert racing springsstill don`t believe a 28" tall tire , 9" wide will go into a bone stock wheel well on a 68 fish w/o raising it up.

they sure wouldn`t on my 68 fastback, but it`ll take 29.5 tall now.Mine did Bob and they were 10" wide. Not much clearance but they never rubbed. Car isn't jacked up either. In fact i'm running 1" drop Calvert racing springs
The one in my avatar is sitting on superstock springs and definately is "Jacked up" it also has 29" drag radials on it. I have run Mickey Thompson 28x9 Slicks on several previous 67-69 Barracudas with stock springs/ride height with no problem.Would you consider the car in your avatar picture not jacked up?
