I scored some of these wheels from Wheel Vintiques off Craigslist yesterday.

The rear wheels are 14 x 8 with a 4.625 back set and have 245 60 tires.

I would like to know if these will work on my 1968 Barracuda without any modifications?

I have the fronts also but I haven't checked the width on them.
 
As long as you have the proper bolt pattern, I don't see why they wouldn't fit. Do some measuring of your wheel wells and lock to lock on the steering to double check though.
 
I don't think this will fit. Mine are 15x8 with 4.5 backspacing. And I have a 1/4 of inch before it hits the spring. You may need a 1/4 spacer

I had 14" wheels with about 4 3/8" backspacing with F60/14 tires & they had about 1/4" clearance to the spring with a standard A Body 8 3/4" rear. There's pics posted somewhere in a wheel & tire thread from a couple of years or so ago. Same wheel on front would hit the upper control arm or ball joint (can't recall which for sure). Ran with a 7/16" spacer.

Any idea where I would be able to locate 5 on 4 spacers?
 
No idea where to get them. At the suggestion of my local speed shop (this was in 1975) I took a regular set of aluminum spacers & cut the existing holes into slots so I could fit them on my car. Not the best solution but it worked for me at the time. Also held up well under a LOT of ABUSE on my part. Like launching the car throught the air on more than one occasion.
