    13" lbp?

    Thanks for checking Don. The way things are going with this rear end I may be putting the car up for sale & giving up on the old cars. I just do not have the patience anymore & this past week has sapped most of my enthusiasm. I am trying not to make any rash decisions but the more I think about...

    13" lbp?

    Thanks guys! I did not think they made a 13" just thought I would confirm it. Looks like a trip to Pull-a-Part.

    Tires & wheel sizes for '66 Barracuda

    I have a '65 Barracuda that I just put new tires on. I went with 235/60-14s in the back & 215/60-14s in the front. There is plenty of clearance in the back, could have went with 245/60s. I am using stock Mopar Ralley wheels & I can't remember the exact back spacing, think it was around 4" +/-...

    13" lbp?

    Did they make 13" rims with the large bolt pattern? I need a spare for my Barracuda now that I converted over & I would like one that fits in the spare tire well. I am having trouble finding a 14" tire small enough to fit. Thanks for any info.

    225/60-14 BFG Radial TA on 14x5.5 steelie

    I have 215/60-14s on 5.5" Mopar Ralleys. They are on the front of my '65 Barracuda. I think they look great. A reputable tire shop will tell you if the 225 is ok. They should have a chart that shows Recommended & Permitable sizes by rim width.

    225/60-15 All Around?

    Not sure if they will rub or not since I do not have a Valiant but here is a link that you can use to put the stock tire size on one side & the new size on the other. It will tell you how much taller, wider & if it will cause problems along with how it will change your speedometer reading...

    widest tire on 6 inch steelie?

    I just bought a set of 235/60/14s on 6" Mopar Ralleys. They fit great! I think it was the biggest size that was acceptable for 6" rims.

    14" Tire info/advice

    If I go 205/70 up front & 235/60 out back my front tire will be 0.3" inches taller than the back; not going to work for me. I finally stopped at a tire store locally that knew what they were talking about & had a reference book that shows recommended sizes & permitted sizes based on rim widths...

    14" Tire info/advice

    That helps a lot. I went to the Hoosier site & saw those tires. Those are pretty wide & recommended on 6"-8". I am going with the 215/60 in the front & 235/60 out back & crossing my fingers. Worst case I have to resell them with 100 miles on them & start over. Thanks guys for the help!

    14" Tire info/advice

    You should have more options since your rim is wider. You can run some wider tires than me on your car. The first gen Barracudas are limited as far as clearance for tires. The BF Goodrich Radial T/As are very common on muscle cars; that is what I am going with. Tirerack will show you what sizes...

    14" Tire info/advice

    He said a 225/60/14 would fit it but not a 235. I know guys use 235s but I wanted to see what the effects are of running a slightly bigger tire than recommended would be. I have put a lot of time & money into my suspension this winter & don't want to screw it up by running tires that will...

    14" Tire info/advice

    100 guys have viewed this thread & only 1 has used a tire size close to what I am trying to find? I called BF Goodrich directly & their Tire "Expert" told me that a 235/60/14 tire will not fit on a 14" rim no matter how wide it is! Not that it is beyond what is recommended but that it actually...

    14" Tire info/advice

    I was planning on going with a 225/60 up front & a 245/60 out back but I was told that if I use a tire that is wider than recommended it will "mushroom" on the rim & flex too much. I am really working on setting my car to handle well so I do not want to put all this time & money into the...

    14" Tire info/advice

    I have a nice set of 14" Ralley rims that I just had powder-coated & are ready to go. They are the rims that I want to use on my '65 Barracuda. I have two 5.5" rims for the front & two 6" rims for the back. I would prefer the 6"s up front & 7"s in the back but these are what I have so these are...

    Question about tire size for 14"X 7" Mopar Rallye Wheels

    According to this tire calculator that I like to use, 255s are the biggest tire recommended for a 7" rim. That being said, I do not know how hard/easy it is to find 255s if they are even made & they will only give you 0.4" more width & 0.5" more height. http://www.rimsntires.com/rt_specs.jsp

    Opinion '64 dart wheels

    Black cop car rims, no hub cap, no trim ring with chrome lugs & white letter tires. My 2 cents.
