That said, he's modified the wheel opening on his fender a bit at the lower front corner, and rolled and slightly stretched the lip on the fender. The lower front corner mod is a barracuda thing for a taller tire, that wheel opening tapers in too much. Duster is similar, but not as pronounced.
At any rate, a 275 front tire on a Barracuda. The modifications he needed are all listed on that post. That's with a 17x8", with a 9" wide rim the backspace would be about 6". I still think a little more backspace would be better, the earlier cars also don't have steering stops like the later cars do, so the later cars have a bit more room for backspace without frame interference because the turning input is a little more limited.
