Rear leaf spring recommendation for 67 Barracuda
The wheel off set to this wheel and tire combo is not really a good offset for the car. I call these GM offset, AKA, shallow. I do not have a picture handy of the huge amount of space between the tire and spring. This is a ‘71 Duster w/275/60/15 & 3500lbs. S/S springs.
On this page midway down, is my pervious Duster, a ‘74 with the 1 inch over net springs from espo. I don’t remember the tire size. It was also tall but a ‘70’s series passenger car tire. There is a little less height. IMO, the espo springs road better. Not as stiff riding. They had the car doing straight on launch.
