    Anyone using donut spares?

    If you're using a "temporary " spare I would think you wouldn't be ridding on it very long and certainly not doing burnouts :eek:. Therefore I don't think you'll be hurting your rear end. My 65 has a pretty small well, so I'm using a Crown Vic aluminum temp like the one pictured above and fits...

    Anyone using donut spares?

    the Fords have a smaller center hole, you'll have to hog it out before you use them.

    rallye wheels and tires

    There's not a lot of value in the 14" rallies IMO. They are pretty common, and most people favor the 15s. I've seen a local craigslist add for $150 (no centers) for months with no sale. With good tires, maybe $400 for the right person. You do have the centers beauty rings and 4.5" bolt patterns...

    With stock brakes, your car came with 14" so yes they should fit

    Spare Tire Question

    I would say you would want the overall diameter to be the same only if you were driving on it a lot, and the width of the tire wouldn't be an issue unless you drive it like it wasn't a spare (remember the concept of a temporary spare ).

    Spare Tire Question

    If your car came with 13's an you haven't done anything that would give you any clearence issues i don't see why not. If you're just using as a spare then a the tire a smaller size if you want, think of it as a temporary spare.

    How I Mounted 17" LX Rear Drive Wheels on My Cuda

    I mounted 225/50-17 tires in the rear and 215/40-17 up front and I've had no clearance issue with this set up. It works out the rear tire diameters are same as the factory F78-14 and the fronts are slightly smaller lowering the front end a little.

    How I Mounted 17" LX Rear Drive Wheels on My Cuda

    This leaves a pretty ugly hole so I found some chrome wheel center (Mr. Gasket #1750) that cost me about $40 for the set on Ebay that covered the hole very nicely. I to drilled and tapped mounting holes and I also ground off some of the center's tabs so they would conform to the curvature of the...

    How I Mounted 17" LX Rear Drive Wheels on My Cuda

    I found the best offset for a these 7” wide wheels for my car would be 4 ½”. These wheels have a 4 ¼” offset so I used a ¼” wheel spacers to get the desired results. These aluminum wheels have a thicker webbing where the lugs mount so I had to install ½ “ longer studs. The biggest problem I ran...

    How I Mounted 17" LX Rear Drive Wheels on My Cuda

    I mounted late model LX rear wheel drive wheels on My '65 Barracuda with somewhat easy modifications, and I thought I'd post on FAO on what I did to make them work. Considering I got this set of 17X7” aluminum wheels off an 06' Charger for just $120 on craigslist I felt this was a very...

    magnum wheels

    They should work fine, I have them on my 65 (converted to 4.5). You'll have to cut a 2 5/8" hole in the center to clear the front outer bearing housing and use a 1/4" spacer and longer studs. I covered the hole with a Torq Thrust type chrome center cap.
