do a search, there must be 4-5 threads on this, i think you need 1 inch spacers though, it might be different for a 67

are you sure?? The 05+ wheels dont fit on a 94-99 because the backspacing is way off. I dont think a 1" spacer is gonna do it, its gonna need more than that.

the back spacing on those wheels I believe is around 5.7-5.75 inches and the normal backspacing on a 66 is around 4.75 inches, ive talked to a few guys about it and they said running between a 1" and a 1.25" spacer works, though ive heard someone was using 1.5" without problems...do a search, there have been several threads about this

I have them on mine and I bought 1.25" spacers and they fit/look great. I have not driven on them yet as the car is in the building stages, but I have fitted them and move it around on them. Reenmachine has 1" on his test mule car and there is another guy with a blue 67 that has them with 1", and both suggested the 1.25" for me.

This is with 1" spacers and I'll probably switch to 1.25"

You can kinda see in this pic that the fronts are in a bit more than they could be:

Those look real "period-correct" too.
What's the widest tire that you can fit on those rims?

Thanks for the pics. If the wheels/tires are still available I'll get them Saturday.
I really wanted a set of Cragars but these were takeoffs for $350.
