Has anyone tried to put the new 17 x 8 or 17 x 9 on a 69 Barracuda? Their website shows a fitment picture of the 17 x 8 on the front of a Formula S 383 car, but no rear picture.

Thanks,
Mike

I've got 17X8 Mustang wheels all around on my 68 'Notch. The 8s fit comfortably but 9s are gonna be tight.
What size tires are you planning on running? Nine inch wheels are 275/40 territory and shorter than the skins I'm running- 255/50-17. The rear has been 5 leafs with flipped front hangers and 2" lowering blocks. I just bought the Hotchkis rear leafs, so I'll see how they look/fit then. I always say this, MEASURE YOUR CAR, there are significant differences between these old cars due to fatigue, body repairs and production tolerances. HTH, Steve

On Year One's website, for the 17x8, they say "Original fitment test done with 245/45-17 BF Goodrich G-Force T/A-KDW tires." Back space is 4.25"

For the 17x9 they say" Original fitment test done with 275/40-17 BF Goodrich G-Force T/A-KDW tires." Back space is 5", which is ok because my leafs are moved in to the frame rails.

I think both are about 26.7" tall.

Currently the front is stock kmember and rear is stock leaf springs w/ Caltracs.

Car is original bigblock car. It has original drum brakes on all corners and does not stop. I want to upgrade to discs and was looking at DoctorDiffs disc kits,

Thanks,
Mike
