1968 Barracuda back space question

I think the bigger problem is how wide those rims actually are. If I had to guess, I would bet they're 14x6's based on that backspacing. And if that's the case, you shouldn't even have 255's on there. Even if they're 14x7's 255 is the widest recommended tire, so 275's would be too wide for the rim.

Good point!
