Does anyone have the 15 x 7 4" BP rallyes on their Barracuda? Is there any problem with fit in the fenders?

Anyone have pics of them on their car?

Thanks!

I put them on a 69 Dart with BFG Radial T/As. I could barely get one finger thickness...about 1/2" ....between the tire and the inner fender lip....NOT rolled. The front was fine, I had it pretty low and raised it until the tire did not rub at full rt or left turn and it was an awesome stance.
Don't know if this helps, I hope so.

I've cop rims that are the same 15x7 with 4.25" backspacing.

It all depends on the tires.

here's 225/60/15 tires front and rear. That can be close in the front. And alignment and past collision damage can change the fit.

225/60/15 in the rear with those rims is easy. I've run 235/60/15 in the rear also. And I'm sure a 245/60/15 will work too, but might rub a tiny bit on the leaf springs on aggressive cornering. A 1/16 spacer will take care of it.

Here's a 235/60/15 on the rear. The cop rims have the same exact specs as the 15x7 rallyes with the factory 15x7 4.25 backspacing.

Thanks!

Been debating pulling off the 14" slots.

You can even go to 15x8 on the rear with no problem. Couldn't find a better pic right now but here's a pic of my old '68. It has 14x7s on the front, though.
