Biggest rear tires on a 66 BCuda

[noisydart]

Have a 66 Barracuda, stock spring location , stock 8 3/4 rear, street driven.
What is the biggest 1`4" and 15" tireI can get under there and what
backspace on the rims?  Can I go 2.35-60-14 or 15?  2.45's??

I have bfg 235/60R-15 drag radials on my dart, but I moved the springs in 3/4". It is possible that they would fit with the springs in the stock location, but it would be tight on the spring side.

i run 245 60 14 and have 1/4 inch till i hit the spring and 1" till i hit the wheel well

DJVCuda, do you have a photo of those tires and rims.  I have 225 - 60 x 14" BFG's on 6" rims right now, but wanted to go to the 245 - 60 x 14".  The one thing that had me worried was how much sidewall bulge I'd have with those tires on a 6" rim.     Thanks.

i had pix on here a while back.. there on my home computer for sure..i'll post them tonight when I get home

the back of the tire does rub the springs under hard corners, but I have had those tires on the car for 12 years and it just shines them...

[OldVart]

Thanks for the reply. Shine is fine, but scuff is rough.

With all the help I've gotten from this board, tha one single thing I keep running into is when someone asks about the biggest tire size they can get under a stock, unmodified early A body.  It seems that it never fails someone will respond with "Mine is minutubbed and..." or " I moved the springs and... or I radiused the wheelwells and the tires stick out like a ricer, but...

Just kidding on that last one, folks

But really  What is the largest practical size on a stock spring location, non tubbed (Mini or MAXI), non radused,  rear wheelwell on a '64ragtop Dart???  Now how about the front???

Thanks a bunch. folks, and no offense meant to anyone!
