Need your recommendations:

I have a '67 Barracuda with stock suspension all around. Right now my car has 14" Chrysler rally wheels (sbp 5x4) with 215/70/14 BGF Radial T/As.

I ordered some Cragar S/S wheels and BFG tires from summit racing and then, out of caution, canceled the order because I felt the wheels were not going to fit.

Here's what I'd like:

15" Cragar S/S wheels.....either one of these:
* Cragar part #61654 (15x6 with a 3.375 rear spacing and a -3mm offset)
* Cragar part #61754 (15x7 with a 4.125 rear spacing and a 3mm offset)
* Cragar part #61854 (15x8 with a 4.25 rear spacing and a -6mm offset)


And I'd like some tires that have dimensions similar to my current tires:

P215/70/14 BF Goodrich Radial T/A
*Tire Diameter: 25.90 in.
*Section Width: 8.70 in.
*Tread Width: 6.40 in.


My question is: What size tires and wheels will fit my '67 barracuda without any suspension/fender modifications?
 
I have 15x7 with 205-60r 15 TAs on the front and 15x8 with 235 60 15s on the back. No mods to the fenders or suspention.

jaws,

Nice wheels! Are those wheels Coys? What's the width of those wheels and what's the backspacing? Are they 5x4 small bolt pattern?
 
Hi.... not sure, but I don't think that Summit has a SS Cragar with the 4" bolt pattern. I put 15 inch Cragars on the front of my 67 Dart. I bought Cragars from Newstalgia Wheels (spelling?). They bought rights to reproduce the Cragar SS wheel with the small Mopar bolt pattern. I may be wrong, but that is what I was told.

No, they're American racing TT2s Fronts are 7s with 3 3/8 back rears are 8s with 4 1/2 back. I changed over to big bolt pattern.
 
I also thought Newstalgia was the only place that had small bolt pattern (5x4) cragar s/s wheels available...but lo and behold:

Prices:
* Part # 61654 15x6 Summit: $197.39 Newstalgia: $170.95
* Part # 61754 15x7 Summit: $145.95 Newstalgia: $170.95
* Part # 61854 15x8 Summit: $149.95 Newstalgia: $170.95

*Note: Summit will match the price.

I'd like to keep the same 5x4 bolt pattern and purchase it at Summit because they offer a "no interest for one year" credit plan.

Just need a little help on choosing which tire and wheel.
