I did a lot of measuring, calculating, more measuring and still ended up rolling the front of my front fenders for clearance and wish I had gone a touch wider on the rear. Lol. The item RRR suggests could be cheap insurance against buying the wrong size.

Polished aluminum with metallic gray centers.

http://www.carcraft.com/howto/1043/ This should work well. The car is just in primer, and my father was a body man. He hasn't done this before and we wanted to ask the best way to do it.

That would be awesome, but not in the cards.

My front wheels rub the very front lower edge of the wheel opening. What will be the best way to gain the clearance I need, and how much is needed? Thank you in advance.

I finally was able to get the 68 on all four wheels today. The super stock springs really cause a lot of adjustment to be needed to level out the fronts end. The drivers side is cranked way up and the passenger side way down. Will also need to trim the lower front edge of the front wheel wells...

Showwheels Streeter. My 17's ran under 140 each.

Yeah, when my dad and I brought the barracuda home we took the wheels off to pressure wash the wells. I knew about the left hand thread mess but we took the rears of first. The rear axle had been converted so I didn't mention it to the old man assuming the front had been too. A couple minutes...

I thought some actual test results would be nice and not derail the other thread more.

After reading the 4" pattern thread i thought it Might be best to start a new thread on this subject. A quick google and this popped up... http://moparmax.com/columns/magnante/v_5-1.html

I just went 17's by Showwheels with 225/50 and 255/50 nitto 450 rubber. Car is still in pieces, but rolling them up to wheel well they fit well.

Whew! I just ordered the same size fronts on showwheels streeters and I am hoping to not have to trim anything. I will be riding stock height and SS springs in back. 440 up front with .920 bars.

Has our car been lowered?

Pulled the trigger on Showwheels Streeter 17x7 and 17x8 and Hankook ventus v4 225/50r17 and 255/45r17. Total was 1240 mounted, balanced, and shipped.

Not looking to corner, just looking to look good and get some traction

Yep, SBP front and rear. Only change to track width would be from SSBC disc conversion up front.

just wondering if this wheel and tire combo will work on my 68 notch. only mod will be SS 002/003 springs, MP .920 torsion bars. Front wheels Streeter 17"x7 4.25" backspacing. Front tires BFG 225/50r17 9.2"section width on 7" rim. 25.9"diameter Rear Wheels Streeter 17"x8 4.5" backspacing...

My problem isn't the spring clips, but two different quarter windows in 1968

Old post, but I am having this same problem. Evidently 68 notchbacks had 2 types of quarter window.

Well, I got out the tape measure and straight edge. On the rar of my 68 barracuda I could run a tire with 12" sectional width with a max of 28" diameter with the right back spacing. So 275/60r15 on 15x8 with 4.5-4.25" back spacing. This leaves 1/2-3/4" of clearance between springs and fender...

Will dog dishes and/or plymouth center caps work on my 14" barracuda steel wheels?
