Friends,
Wanted to check in and see if a 15x10" rim with a back space of 3.5 will fit in the stock wheel rear wells of a E Body (73 Cuda). I have come accross a killer deal on some old school polished alum slots and wanted to check here before pulling the trigger on them.
Have a D60 that has not been cut to size yet, looking at going with a b-body legenth or shorter if needed, if that helps? Looking at some SS type springs for the rear susp.
If the answer is no with a stock set up what can be done to make them fit eg. cut dana shorter and move springs in further? I do not want to tub or mini tub this car. Want the wheel to resied under inside the stock wells and within the rear qtr opening and not to extend outside the qtr lip. Thanks guys for any input you have.
Don
Street/Strip 73 Barracuda

We have 10 inch rims on ours, back spacing is 6.5 inch. We have the 1 inch inboard spring kit and stock width Dana. Tyre is very close to the fender lip (29.5 x 10.5 slick) we had to re-arch the springs to get them to fit, which brought upon another set of problems.  I'd guess, since our car is a Challenger, that dependant on tyre they'll have too much outset and won't fit but I don't know for sure 
'74 Challenger..9.46 @ 145.9 1/4, 6.001 @ 118 1/8 so far. 4023lb !!! # N/A, Marsh performance 655ci, Indy Maxx, T/R, Indy 600-13 X's, Street legal, pump gas, full interior, Cal-Tracs, mufflers, 3:73's and real 10.5 radials.

Here we go with the search button bit, what if I told you I did use it and it didnt come up with the info I was looking for???
I'd believe it.
Me to...but try the "google custom search" box at the top of the page...it's easier to use.
