15x8 Rear Wheel on a stock 65 Barracuda ??
I just bought a set of 15x8 to go on my 66 Valiant. They have 255/60r15 on them and I am going to see if they fit without scrubbing. It does all depend on the backspacing and springs.
I have some springs I bought from a guy who had them on a street car he raced but I have NO clue what they are. I just stuck them under the Valiant because the originals were sagging and they gave it a great stance but HARD ride over bumps.
I am picking the wheels up tomorrow and I hope to get them on Saturday. Dont know if they are going to fit or not especially since I will be running adapters. The guy I bought them from said they were on a 68 Dart with no problems so I will see.
I will post pics as soon as I get them on and go for a drive.

The 255/60r15 is 27 inches tall by 10 inches wide. That is compared to the 215/60r14 that I took off that are 24.2 inches tall by 8.5 inches wide on stock rallye wheels. Just FYI.
The wheels I bought have a 5" backspace. Pray for me and my car. LOL
