Ok so my dad has been itching to put some slicks on one of the barracuda's and run it. It has stock wheel tubs,A body 8 3/4 with the flared drums(not sure how wide those are or if that will make a diff with the backspacing) Leaf springs in stock location. So what is the widest tire you can run without cutting or rolling of any body panels.

Thanks.

I had 15 x 7 small bolts on the back of mine with 275 x 60 radial t/a's.

On my 68 barracuda I run a 9"x 28" hooiser slick on an 8" wide rim with 4-1/2" back spacing, and for a street tire I run a 275/60/15 on a 8" rim with 4-1/2" back space, both fit great and dont rub at all.
