Just sold my new set of small bolt pattern Cragars & T/A Radials if they'll fit on a 65 Barracuda. Rears are in question: 15x8 Cragar SS, 4.125" backspacing, 245/60x15 T/A Radials. Will they fit on the back? Fronts are 14x6 w/ 205's so I know they'll fit. Thanks for any info.

does it have the 8 3/4 with skinny 1 3/4" brakes?

if so,I dont think that back space is gonna work

I ran 7" with 4 1/2" bs with 245/60/15 on a slab sided 68 Dart

but had large offset on the axle to run the larger brakes and greens in the 8 3/4 rear

that made it 1/2" wider..1/4" each side

with a lage brake 7 1/4" rear axle it would rub and needed 4 1/4" back space on the rims

I think the back space is gonna be the problem,the 68 cuda has more room to the out side than to the inside,and the skinny brakes make it close on the spring as it is

might have to bolt them up to check for sure.

hope that helped and did not confuse and kill your sale..

Your title says '65, but your post says '68?

A 275/60/15 Micky Thompson drag radial JUST fits under my 65 Barracuda mounted on a 15x8 Weld wheel with 5 1/2 inch back space. You will need to do the 3/4 inch inboard relocation to fit these, plus I had to roll the lip.

Hope this helps.

65 would be a diff measurment than a 68

so what I posted might not apply

results will vary
