15x8 Rear Wheel on a stock 65 Barracuda ??

Time to break out the measuring tape! I have rear tires that measure 26" tall by 9" wide and to get them to fit without rubbing, I had to trim the inner lip of the wheel opening just a little. They may have worked without the trimming but I didn't want to take the chance of cutting the side wall on a hard side thrust. If I had wheels that offsetted a little more to the inside, I could probably use a slightly wider tire but not much wider without having to relocate the springs. Not all these cars were built exactly the same so you'll have to check your rear end centering to see if you have enough fender clearence.
