Hello, I’ve done my research and wanted to run my tire and wheel change on my mostly stock suspension 66 barracuda by everybody
Currently running 14x5.5 SBP steels with I believe 3.7” of backspace with 205/70s all around. On really hard turns (not normal) the front tires touch the Hellwig 1 ¼” sway bar) Normal use, does not touch (not shiny or marks on the tire)
I am planning on Cragar SS wheels – going with 15 x 7 with 4.125” of back space (I’ve read that with 15x7 should go with 4.5” of back space – but these are running wider tires than I plan – 235s or 245s)
Tires will be 205/60s in the front and 225/60s back (50 series seem to small)
Any issues with this combo? Should I go with a slightly smaller 215/60 in back?
Am I missing anything? Any issue with staggering the tires besides rotating
Thanks for the help
