Front 15 x 3.5 Rims w/ Pro Trac 560-15 tires (1.625 BS)
Rear 15 x 8.5 Rims w/ Pro Trac 275/60/15 (4-7/8 BS)

I rough fit these on the 68 last night but they will need a little help. Tires clear on the inside rear but the rim is in contact with the lower shock bolt and nut of the trac bar. I'm going to try a .250 spacer on it today or may end up relocating the shock mount as a proper fix. Front inside wheel is also contacting the caliper so a spacer will be added to see if that helps fit the wheels over 4 piston fronts?

I tried these on the 68 purely for S&G's, but in fairness I bought these for the 69 car. I'll try fitting them on the green car later since I am waiting on some vintage Hurst air shocks arriving in the next week. Once those are here an mounted up, I'll try the front and rears to see if they need help to clearance the lower shock mounts on the older Lakewood J Bars. These wheels should fit the 69 fronts with the single piston calipers.
