17" up front 18" in back
Great way to picture certain wheels on our A's.
I have something like magnums, except they came from a ford guy. For the 65 Barracuda.

Boy, that's an old post. Wheels were 17x8, and not from a cobra R, lol. Mustang gt I think.
They're on my friend's 69 now.
I have zero problem using Magnum style wheels between Ford and Mopar. They're really similar to the casual observer and they all look classic and perfect.
Are they on the car? IIRC, Ford used (and still use) the 5x4.5" pattern and your Barracuda is likely a 5x4" unless it has been modified. Also, I wonder if the offsets are compatible..
Not on car yet. Front has been modified, rear is getting a diff with big bolt pattern. Dont know about offset yet. Diff has to get under car,hope to do it soon.
Nice...Please share pics as soon as possible!!

15 X 8 rear and 15 X 7 front, American Racing ''Ventura'' wheels
Once you find those perfect 17's, please let me know because I would be willing to off set the cost of those 17's while preventing these hideous and less than desireable 15's from taking up space in your garage..... also you inbox is full!

Now that`s a kick a$$ car !
Mustang Bullitt wheels. 17x8 in front and 17x9 out back.
Sorry, @GoodTimeGarage ! I didn't see your question until just now.
The Rota RKR wheels only come in 15x8, +10mm or 15x8 0mm in terms of sizes that would be relevant to our cars. The good news is that they're cheap, they're pretty light, the center bore is wide enough for disk brake cars and the rears fit great with the 0mm offset and 255/60/15s. I am running an A-body width 8 3/4" axle so it would probably tight if you're running a B-Body axle as some guys do. In that case, the +10mm offset version may help (but measure first).
The bad news is on the front end. As most A-Body guys have discovered (or read), our cars do not like 15x8 wheels on the front. They usually rub on the control arms or they stick out too far and hit the fender lip (usually the front/bottom corner of the wheel arch first). These wheels were cheap enough that it was worth it (IMO) to have a pair cut down to 15x7 (which effectively changed the backspacing but not the offset). 225/60/15 fit well now.
My personal advice here; I knew what I was getting into and I really wanted to do something different with my car...but unless you fall in love with a particular wheel style, a similar aesthetic can probably be accomplished with some carefully chosen 17x8, ~6" backspace wheels. You'd save the trouble of having a pair cut/welded (or doing it yourself if you're good) and you have better tire options too. Shoot me a PM if you have any specific questions.
