Post your wheel and tire combos.

I had thought of going to the 7 in. with the 4.125 bs but on another post of mine a reply mentioned that I may have a problem with sway bar clearance if over 4 in.bs so I played it safe and went with 6in rims and less bs.
 
I need new tires on my 69 Dart GT vert after recent blow-out. Currently have 7" Cragers all the way around with 225 60x14 on all.
I want to leave the 225 60x14 on front but go to 245 60x14 on rear... for slite wider look. Any clearance issues? I see it should be ok height-wise but its gonna be close at the fender. I dont think the rims are offset.

Or should I just go 235 60x14 or just leave well enough alone and stay with what I have?

Any ideas...?

These are the specs on 60 series BF Goodrich TA:

TIRE----Rim----Sec width---OA dia----Rev
225.......6.9"........9"...........24.7".........842
235........7"........9.5"..........25.1".........820
245........7"........9.8"..........25.6".........813
 
245/60/R14
215/70/R14

I'm not sure on the rims, but the rear are probably 3 inch offset, 14*7.
The fronts look like 14*6.

See if the tire shop will put a 245 on just to see how it looks,and check for clearance. Make sure you try it on both sides,Mopars rear end is not centered .
 
Only problem is not many tire shops stock a 60 series 14" tire. The place Im getting them from is having them shipped. Guess I could make a few calls and see who may have a set to compare...

Ill have to remeasure the rims- I thought they were 7" all the way around.

So 245/60 15s should work on my 66 cuda? Does anyone know how large of tires can be put on without any suspension mods.

Pictures sometime next week when I get the wheels. :D
 
I'm putting that size on next week with a set of keystones on my 65 barracuda ...I'll let ya know!
 
I currently have a very old set of 195 70 R14's on my stock 66 Barracuda Formula S. I am thinking about going with a 205 70 R14. For those of you with stock 66 Formula S wheels, what size tire are you running?

Really tight fit in the rear, should have gone with a higher offset, but so far no scraping at all

205/70-14 is a great choice for an early A.

Here's my new set of shoes.

Fronts:
American Racing Santa Cruz rims, 15x7, 5x4.5 bolt pattern, 5.56" backspacing
Tires - 205/60/15 BF Goodrich Radial T/A's
Mods - 1.5" wheel spacers to take up the offset

Rears:
Same rims
Tires - 225/60/15 BF Goodrich Radial T/A's
Mods - E body 8.75 axle with perches moved in to A body width, rolled fender lips, still a tight fit. Would probably be just about right with a B body axle, which would let me stuff in some bigger tires =P.

Rear
wheels: Cragar S/S 15x8 (2)
tires: 245/60 15s
suspension mods rear: new shackles, shocks, panyard bar, bending the lip on the inside up

Front
wheels: steelies
tires: 185/70 14s
suspension mods front: anti sway bar, shocks, cutting about 1 inch off the front bottom of the wheel well so the tire (on the Cragars) doesn't drag when turning and the nice thing is that it doesn't even look like it.

debating whether to get a new radio or the front wheels first
