Recommended wheel width for a 215-70-15 is a 5.5" - 7".
A 215-70-15 is almost 27" tall.
In short…… You will be stretching a tire onto an improper wheel. The wheel and tire combo will be so tall and so wrong for the car that you will catch the lower front of the fender, folding both over.
That wheel tire combo WILL destroy both of your front fenders!
A 67-68 Barracuda can not take much front tire without fender or other modification.
A 215-60-15 (25.2" tall) on a 6" wheel (7 with the correct offset) would work.

how about on my 67 cuda. Doing a 17x7 in the front and 17x8 in the rear? I have a set of centerlines that were made with 4.5 backspace. Should this be OK and if so what size tire would you guys recommend?. I was thinking 225-45-17 in front and 245 or 255-45-17 in the rear?. thoughts or ideas please...
