    Rear tire width max for 67 Barracuda

    That would be a problem since I haven't seen 5.5" BS. I thought it might help keep the inside away from the leaf springs even though it would push it to the fender lip. One of the other guys was using 295s

    how do I adapt 5x4 with 1/2"X20 stud to SS cragars

    I give up, took the lugs and tapped them to 1/2-20 and put the wheels on, but the 14" wheel hit the caliper so we had to space them 1/16" and the stud couldn't make it into lug head. 2 of the lug heads sheared off in the socket tightening them. I can only imagine what the stress of a hard turn...

    Rear tire width max for 67 Barracuda

    Could I still go for 275/60/15 on 15X8 rims with 4.5 BS if I had to use a wheel adapter to convert 5X4 to 5X4.5 ?

    how do I adapt 5x4 with 1/2"X20 stud to SS cragars

    Right, Willwood use 1/2" screw in studs, and they're hardened. Amongst many angles, I also want to be able to have one spare that will fit all the wheels and studs. Today I have a local machinist experimenting with turning down the shank of the 1/2" mag lugs. He thinks it will work if we can...

    how do I adapt 5x4 with 1/2"X20 stud to SS cragars

    Called the Willwood tech dept.; they were of "Big Fat ZERO" help. "Dude, (my injection for the drone looking at the screen and not thinking)" "all our studs are 1/2", they're better than 7/16"" they had nothing and no clue. Why bother offering 5X4" without at least an option for 7/16 studs (fire...

    how do I adapt 5x4 with 1/2"X20 stud to SS cragars

    Bought a wildwood kit that allows 5x4 BP but comes with 1/2"x20 lugs My 14x7 SS cragars with 5x4 bp only take the 7/16" mag lugs (.592 shank dia) and 1/2" lugs are thicker diameter (like .668 shank diameter) any practical suggestions other than buying new 15" ss cragars and tires.?

    Rear tire width max for 67 Barracuda

    Let me throw a spanner in the gears! Would a rear disc brake conversion affect the tire width capacity?

    Rear tire width max for 67 Barracuda

    Nothing against Summit or JEGS, I've used both, but in this case I'm going to "Buy Local" from either a speed shop or tire dealer that are near me. They have the same price or better. Thanks for the advice guys.

    Rear tire width max for 67 Barracuda

    8" will be ok I actually measured a BFG 255 and the actual tread was 8.25" That will actually make finding rims easier.

    Rear tire width max for 67 Barracuda

    the problem at this point is not the width so much as the bolt pattern 15X10 x 5x4

    Rear tire width max for 67 Barracuda

    they look nice, what's the backspace? Did you need to use adapters?

    Rear tire width max for 67 Barracuda

    I just realized 255 is a little over 10" ...8" rims might work but might not look as good as on 10" rims, that changes everything - now I need to go back to the cragar site. What offset would be best for that? Still 4.5" ?

    Rear tire width max for 67 Barracuda

    Rear tire width max for 67 Barracuda

    Kinda like the deep dish, would 3" offset be okay ya think or would it rub the outer fender with a 255 on a 15?

    Rear tire width max for 67 Barracuda

    Aren't the stock rims 14" on 67-69 Barracuda's? I must need to catch up on wheel technology; do they make classic SS Cragar wheels in 15" rims to fit 5-4 bolt pattern? 15" would be the max for me anyway, I'm too old school for these huge wheel diameters with LP tires, old fashin I guess but I...

    I'll need 8" for the 245's I'm guessing

    Rear tire width max for 67 Barracuda

    Anyone know what's the widest rear tire width that will tuck under my 67 Barracuda? Any recommendation for SS cragars width, type or offset to max this out? Also any tire ratio suggestions? I'd like to use 60 series if possible.
