Post subject:  64 barracuda rim size

Hi,

I am looking for more info. I have a chance to pick up a set of alloy 4 1/2" bolt pattern rims (on the cheap) that are 15x8 with -30mm offset that came off a jeep. I will be putting them on a 64 barracuda. That is all apart right now and want to know if they will fit without any modification. (I don't want modifications) I have a Large bolt pattern disc coverersion and a large bolt rear end off another abody. I have read others have got away with 15 x 7 but I not sure about this 8" and this perticular offset will work.

Thanks Joe

I have the late A-body disks on my '64 Valiant, using 15X7's with +13mm offset. I don't think 15X7's or 15X8's with 30mm would work without spacers.

Edit: NOW I see the - sign. Minus 30mm? way too far out.
Are you sure it's minus? I looked at some stock Jeep rims that had significant positive offset.

Those wheels positively will not fit with any tire appropriate for the wheel width. They stick out much too far and will hit the fenders. You want 15x7" wheels with +6mm offset which is 4 1/4" backspacing. If you want to try 15x8s you still need +6mm offset which is then 4 3/4" backspacing.
