curious to how tall a rear tire you guys with 67 barracuda's fit without hitting the lower wheel well opening on bottom front and rear of the tire without modifying the opening? my dana is narrowed and I have tubs. looks like a 28" tire is it.

Yep a 28 is about it, they get really close to the front of the opening.

ok, thanks. I have 28" quick times on it but they measure 27". My tires look too small for wheel well. Do you know if the 68 ss barracudas came from factory with bigger rear wheel well openings?

Dave...... Those Qtp's come 88 circumference. But each pair can be different. When I used to buy those at Lane automotive, you can have them get the tallest pair the same size they have in inventory.
I have seen them between 87.5 and 88.25. Those are good tires. I went 9.80's on those, new owner 9.60's.

Yeah Don, you just reminded me that when I ordered them from McCormick a few yrs ago I did request the shortest tire in a 28x13.50 too be sure they would fit. I will measure circumference off these and order a little bigger next time. Thanks
