Are you sure you linked the correct story? Most all that was about the doors and hinges. I did find a good video on YouTube though. I'll probably tackle the non-driver door handle first.

...that I had in mind. Turned our pretty clean. So, when the last 2 wheels came in today I took them down immediately to hav the tire mounted. **The 3.75 inch backspacing on the AR62 wheels has turned out perfect; as the rear tires still clear the springs by almost 2 inches. I did also...

Outside handles.

Just the outside handles

I have ordered replacement door handles for my 67 Barracuda.; mine fairly pitted. I have done a lot of DIY work on it. But, I just want to get a reading on how much trouble I can get into replacing the door handles myself.

Very nice look!

Thanks for the post. But, I have already thought thru all that. I've got a Notchback, and am changing things to be more road friendly; including tires not rubbing the fenders. Tires already here from Tire Rack. Wheels on the way from Jegs. Gonna give Gabriel Hijackers a try for custom height...

OK! I lost the post! WHO MENTIONED GABRIEL "HI-JACKERS"????

Like it!

Yup! That's why I said my head was swimming with numbers and calculations right now. And now the more I calculate and look, the more I think I need to go back to 14s.

I've looked at several sites with charts describing wheel diameter versus what tire width will work. A 7 inch wheel is supposedly OK for a 9 inch tire (profile). I would think that this would also give you a little sidewall protection from curb rashing your wheels. The tires I am looking at are...

Same here! I can't view the photo.

NOW! HERE IS ANOTHER CONCERN ABOUT THE WHEEL WELLS!!! I'm currently on 15 inch tires with a 60 aspect ration. All the tires I am seeing that I like are all 70 aspect ratio. My head is swimming with drawings and numbers.....will the 15 inch /70 tires be taller???? (Over an inch taller by my...

With my goal to get the tires inside the wheel wells, my intention is to go with a 15x7 wheel. That way all 4 wheels are the same, and can accomodate up to 9 in width tires. My #1 choice on wheel is the AM Racing AR23 Series (cobo of good looks and good price). #2 would be the US Mags U101 Indy...

That's why I am asking. On mine, I see no need to..1) have a fat *** ties sticking outside the body (I'm not dragging); and 2) The *** up in the air is too much. I figure that I will be putting gas shock on the rear to adjust the height.

"Hot" motor = lots of horsepower I guess??

So, as I am narrowing down new wheels and tires for my 67 Barracuda, the thought occurs to me.... Although I am used to seeing all 4 tires the same width on passenger cars, that does not seem to be what I see on Classic cars. In order to get my wheels and tires back into the wheel wells, I...

Thanks

Sure! Measure your backspacing. That would be helpful. Thx

Are these what you have??? American Racing VN1055765US: VN105D Series Torq-Thrust D Wheel Size: 15" x 7" [Grey w/Machined Lip] - JEGS

Hey Topless, What are the specs on your Torque Thrusts? Backspacing??? Offset??? I did a lot of research on the web, reading, and measuring yesterday. I sat down and drew several pictures to illustrate what I have and what I want. By my calculations, because of the springs n the inside only...

Nope! The bolt pattern is 5x4.5", front and rear.

Fronts are not much of a problem. The rears are 10 inch wide tires on a 9 inch wheel. Tires are 255/60R15

That's one of my wheel options.

Depends on the car! The torque thrusts look great on your gray. And, they look good on my PT Cruiser. But, I'm gonna tuck the tires back in and go for something more original looking, like Weld Wheels.

You are correct in that they are not measured the same; although related in the sense when attempoting to tuck a wheel inside of the wheel well. Most of the wheel specs that I see on the web mention "Offset"; not Backspacing. Jegs has several good diagrams and charts. How To Measure A Bolt...

Yup! Looks the same. And the previous owner lived not that far from PA. Do the center caps have a logo. On mine, when cleaned up, the inside of the wheel is almost a creamy white. And, it looks like Halibrand is now owned by Holley.

Yes, bad ***! But, fender rub ain't cool.

Most of the historical threads talk about needing positive 4 1/2 inch offset. And, I've seen a few diagrams of it. How To Measure A Bolt Pattern: A Guide To Measuring Wheels | JEGS
