66 Cuda tires

[tony20110]

I am putting an 360la with fender well headers in a 66 Barracuda. My rims are 14x6 front (to clear the fender well headers). My rear rims are 15x7. Any tire suggestions? Size and brand please. Thanks fabo

I think the rears are too narrow.The 360 will smoke anything that you put on a 7"rim.
And fronts are too wide. But its been many years since I last had fenderwells in an early A. Are the headers on yet?

The headers aren't on yet but I was told 14x6 would clear. I'm thinking 205 but I might be able to get away with 215.

I would wait til the headers are on.I put a set on a 65 Valiant wagon in about 74 or 75. They were Hookers I think. Cost a lotta bucks back then. They took up a lotta room in those little wheelhouses. I had to run some pretty skinny tires. They sure perked up the 340 tho!
