Long story short, my shop got broken into and my 1969 Barracuda got stripped. I need to order wheels for it asap so I can get it rolling again, but my wheels are gone now so I have no idea what size to order. I know they were Weld Prostars, 15x3.5 fronts with 1.75 backspace and 15x8 rears, but I'm not sure of the backspace. I know they had 255 MT Drag Radials. It's a stock 8-3/4 rear end. From what I read 15x8 will need a 4-4.5 backspace. Can anyone help out? Thanks.
 
I just used Wheel Vitques MoPar Ralley wheels at 15X10 W/4.5 back spacing and Micky Thompson's 26X10 ET Streets with approx. 1.75 inch clearance, springs in stock location.
There not S/S springs FWIW.
 
Here's what 15" X 10" X 3.5" BS, 275-15 R60 tires, and stock 8.75 rear with 10" X 1.75" brakes will give you.

Approximately 1.75" tire sidewall to spring (in stock location) clearance.

I was hoping to use a 15x8 with 3.5 backspace as I found a new set for cheap but I'm worried they will stick out a little with a 275/60/15
 
Sorry for the delay. Here are some shots of the Wheel Vint. Ralley 15 X 10 - 4-1/2 back spacing with the Mickey Thompsons @ 26 X 10 on my wifes '67 Cuda.
The car is not yet down on the floor. I'm still doing work on it.

There is approx. 1-7/8 of an inch from tire to lead spring clearance.
