Cragars rub!!! Help

-
I agree something is not right with the suspension
my 66 barracuda is running 215/70-14 on 5.5" rally rims with no clearance issues at all
 
Those tires should fit......

It's hard to tell for sure from your pic, but I'd try lowering the torsion bars a bit. It may give you the needed clearance. Good Luck & Yes, Cragars look great on the early A's
 
As said, something is off on the front suspension. I'm running like some others here, 215/70/14 on sbp Cragars SS wheels. No issues with clearance at all.
 
Ok, so I bought a set of 215/60 14"....they clear, so now I can get the car to someone that knows suspension...the guys at the goodyear store are clueless...all they want to do is sell tires .but I agree. something is not right...now in search of someone who knows their sh*t...Thanks to all that replied to this issue!!!

check the strut rod bushings. if they are shot the can pull the lower control arm forward.

this is not a mopar strut rod but its same idea. see how the bushing is crushed thin and cracked all to ****? this is what locates your lower control arm front to back. if yours havn't been changed in the last 20 yrs. id bet you need new ones no matter what.

I have a 65 Dart,and run a 215 70/14 just like you had.That size will/can hit the lower front of the fender slightly on an
Early A.The fix,take a cut off wheel and trim the lower portion of the fender. Once done,hit it with a little touch up paint,you will never notice it. Problem solved.
