Biggest tire on an e body Barracuda - 08/06/23 07:09 PM

I've been using 275-60 for years. I am going to put a b body dana in it with Drdiff 1" offset spring mounts. Looks like 295-65 should fit and 315-60 might fit. Will a 10.5 slick fit? Who has done any of these.

I ran 295/65s for years. Offset springs, a little trimming on the wheel lip molding, a 3/8" spacer in front of the front spring perch and custom back spacing on the 10" Cragars. The rear shackle hanger did rub some on the rear valance.

A little tip on the rims: If you need to order custom back spacing like I did, order them with about 1/4" too little inside spacing. They are not usually perfect. And it is a lot easier to space them out a bit than it is to move them in. twocents

29565/ 0r 295/50's will fit nicely with the B Body axle and -1" relocation kit. 315/60's will not fit. I had to mine tub mine and move the springs to the frame rails to get 315's to fit on mine.

The Nitto 325-50/15's mounted on 15 x 10" steelies fit my '70 'Cuda with a B-body Dana, plus 1" Espo springs & Dr Diff inset hanger kit. Doesn't rub on springs or body. I do use steel spacers and slightly longer wheel studs to fine tune the position of the wheels in the wheel well.
