I have some 14x7 BBP daisy mags that I want to put on my '68 Barracuda notch. The seller said they use to be on an old Mustang. Does anyone have pictures of these on A '68 notch, and what size tire would fit and look good? I'm converting to BBP.
 

Wheels intended for Fords typically have less backspace than what’s ideal for and A body. Other issue is the hub bore can be smaller too.

What’s the backspacing on those wheels?
 
Be careful with the backspacing on 14" wheels- as you get closer to 4 1/2" backspacing, you stand a pretty good chance of interference with the upper control arms.
 
It looks like the backspacing is 3 1/2".

Yeah, not really ideal for a 14x7". To put it in perspective, those wheels with 205/70/14's on them would stick out further than the 18x9's with 275's on my Duster. Depending on your ride height it might be possible, but I think those 205's would be the biggest tire you could do and if your ride height isn't stock or higher they'll likely rub.
