Different fenders for 15" tires ?

[300]

Hello. Somewhere i read that on a base 70 Barracuda the only tires that could be used are 14". And that the 15" option requierd different fenders. If that is the case what could be done to allow for 15" using the standard fenders, Thanks??

my 70 318 4 speed barracuda has 15x7 ralley rims all the way around on it with 275x60x15 on back and 225x60x15 on front with no issues at all. I also run a 440 6pk in it now.   You will have no issues

I've got 235 60r 15 on the front of mine and I have seen 245's on the front before no clearance issue. There was a "hemi" fender for 15 inch wheels but the standard fenders work just fine.

Thanks, I thought i might have to get others for it, Ouch. It was in one of the reso books, the one that has the pink AAR on it, that mentioned that.

The "Hemi fenders" were the standard fenders, with a rolled lip. Chrysler did it to ensure that the 15" wheels, with their F-60s on them, did not rub in turns. These fenders were also available on ANY E-body that was optioned with the 15" wheels, and were, as I understand it, automatically part of the package when a car was so ordered. With that said, I am certain that there were some that did not get the rolled lips, and still left the factory with 15" wheels installed. Just because the factory did it, does not mean that it needs to be done for tire clearance. The proper wheel offset will work great for getting some truly large tires under the fenders.
