My vote is for the American Torq Thrust wheels. I debated on those vs the Mag 500's I ended up going with. I ended up going with the Mag 500 since the black went with the stripe, but I still kind of wished I went with the Torq Thrust instead.

I use this link to figure tire size. Tire Size Calculator The 215/70-14 tires are 25.9" diameter and 8.5" wide The 235/60-14 tires are 25.1" diameter and 9.3" wide The 205/70-15 tires I ran were 26.3" diameter and 8.1" wide. Being your using a 14" wheel I would think the 235/60-14 tire would...

See my thread titled "Barracuda tire size" I doubt the 235/60s will unless you "massage" the front lower lip of the fender. I'm assuming your talking about a 15" wheel?

Seems like this question comes up alot about Barracuda's so I'm going to share my setup/experience so maybe it'll help others. 1969 Notchback Barracuda. Factory 8 3/4 rear with big bolt pattern (Unsure what year it is) Rear Drum brakes Rear end is in factory location Fenders and quarter panels...

Yes Big bolt pattern.

1969 Barracuda Rear 15x8 4 1/2" backspacing with 275/60R15 I've been messing with spacers on the rear. I think I have a 3/16" on the passenger side and 1/8" on driver side. This gives me close to 1/2" between tire and leaf spring. The tire also clears the wheelwell lip. If you were to...

1969 Barracuda Drum brakes all around, factory 8 3/4 rear (not sure what year the rear is though) Fronts 15x6 4" backspacing with 205/70R15 Rear 15x8 4 1/2" backspacing with 275/60R15 Fronts were a little close during turning (approx 1/4" between tire and bottom of fender so I rolled the bottom...

I went with Hankook Ventus tires. Got them from SimpleTire.com Paid just over $200 to my door back in the spring. Put around 500 miles on them this summer. Worked well for my car and my style of driving. Mainly just use the car to go get ice cream on nice days.

I swapped my small rear for a 8 3/4 with 5 x 4 1/2". I still have factory 9" drums up front. My dad redrilled the hubs and drums to make them 5 x 4 1/2". I just got the car on the road this spring and probably have around 500 miles on it without any issues. I will be switching to front disc...

Looks good

Thanks

I just went thru this with my 69 notchback barracuda. I have an A-Body 8 3/4 rear (not sure what year car it came from as they do vary in width depending on the year from what I've read). But I went with a 15x8 with 4.5 backspacing with 275/60R15 Hankook tires in the rear. I ended up adding...

They fit everywhere fine. I did have to add a 1/4" spacer as they were close to the leaf springs, with the 1/4" spacer I have 1/2-9/16" space now. I need to lower the rear about an inch so once I do that I'll post some pics.

Car is a 69 barracuda, but I ended up buying the 275/60's. Just had to add a 1/4 spacer to get 1/2" of space between tire and leaf spring.

How much tire clearance is needed for your front tires to your fenders at its closest point? I had 205/75R14 tires on the car and went to 205/70R15. At the closest point during the turning process my clearance went from 5/8" to 5/16" with the new tires. Is that to close? How close have you...

Any pictures of it?

69 Barracuda with factory drum brakes. Going to be putting on a 15x6 front wheel on it with 4" backspacing. Seems 215/65R15 is the popular size. Has anyone tried a 205/70R15? Any issues? How much room do you guys with 215/65 have? Tires are pretty close to one another 26" diameter and 8.5"...

1st time buying tires for my car as I just got it all together. It will just be a cruiser, lucky if I drive it 1500 miles a year.

Coopers are 440AB and 107T Hankook are 400ABa and 107S both have I believe the coopers are 120 MPH rated. Coopers are 440AB and 107T Hankook are 400ABa and 107S both have 11/32 tread depth. Looking at the 275/60R15 sizes I can get the Coopers for $119 and the Hankooks for $103.

How do the Hankook Ventus (H101) compare to the Cooper Cobra GT tires as far as performance and such?

Anyone have any pics of a 235/70 tire on their car? Curious how it looks compared to the 275/60. Pretty much the same tire diameter, but not as wide so would have more clearance to the leaf spring.

How much room do you have between the tire and the leaf spring?

The 2 brands I've been looking at are Cooper Cobra G/T and Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/T Raidal

Does anyone have what the actual tire width measurement is with the following size tires on a 8" rim: 275/60R15 (advertised as 10.8") 255/60R15 (advertised as 10") My dad has some Mickey Thomson Sportsman Pro 28x10.5 mounted on 8" wheels. They are advertised as a 11.2" sec width, but they...

Anyone have any pictures of Magnum 500 wheels on a 67-69 notchback barracuda? Still trying to decide on wheels. A green car would be great as that's what mine is, but just like to see how they look on any barracuda.

Has anyone had any issues with American Racing Wheels VN105 Torq Thrust D or VN215 Torq Thurst II fitting their cars? Will be going on a 1969 Barracuda with a 8 3/4 factory drum rear and factory drum up front, but did change to the 5 x 4 1/2 bolt pattern. From some stuff I've seen from wheel...

I have a 69 barracuda notchback and would like to put American Racing VN105D Torq-Thust D wheels on it. I have the factory A-body 8 3/4 rear with factory drums and up front I have the factory drum brakes but redrilled so all 4 wheels are 5 x 4 1/2" bolt pattern. Anyone have any issues with...
