He actually has his cars sitting up pretty high. Most likely to go along with the "day 2" them that he portrays with most of his stuff. I've looked at a few of his cars. A 69 RS Z in particular with the same wheel and tire package, but it was sitting much higher than stock ride height, so the tires work.
69 Z's from the factory sit a tad lower than any other 69 Camaro model.
With that said maybe this will help.
Stock 69 Z/28 ride height as measured per AIM with it's E70-15's at 24 psi and at curb weight.
Front 9.13"
Rear 8.75"
I measure my 69 RS Z with stock height tires in rear and 1" shorter tires up front.
Front is 8.5"
Rear is 8 5/8"
Add roughly 1/2 inch for the 1 inch shorter circumference tire up front.
That puts me at roughly 9 inches exactly up front. So it has settled only slightly from the factory AIM specifications. Maybe tenth of an inch???
On the rear it has settled about again roughly 1/8"
So my Z is setting darn near spot on what the factory intended. I can say with certain an F60 won't fit up front. Not only will it hit the upper inside fender because the car sits low, but it will certainly rub the headlight actuator covers as well.
Hope that helps explain.
Now if you have a 69 Camaro that sits higher than a stock Z/28 ride height you may very well fit those tires without issue.
