New Rims touching the upper A-arm.. what should I do?

The SN95 wheel thing has been covered so many times I'm surprized this still comes up.

Here it is plain and simple (at least for a 67):
SN95 wheels (95-04) you need a 1" adaptor
S197 (05+) you need a 1.5" adaptor

With S197 wheels you may be able to do it with 1.25" adaptor if you are able to push the upper arm by at least 3 mm. There is space inside the a-arm, but it's quite difficult to do it on the car because the meatl is quite thick. I think 1.5" adapter is too big for the rear end; if you have stock leaf springs, stock s197 tires (235/55/R17) and heavy trunk you may end up hitting fenders. I have 1.25" on rear too and it seems to be really close
