Difficult and expensive to acquire all the correct pieces, and obtain the correct "look".............

Do you have any clearance (rubbing) issues with the front tires on the Z ?

They look close...and they are...but no issues.
Most of the wheels I've had on the '69 were 4.5" b/s on a 8" wheel and while close,it doesn't rub with how this car is setup.
All my other wheels are 4.75" & 4.875" b/s on a 8" wheel and I have all kinds of clearance there.

Before I bought my '70 Z28, I was going to put Torque Thrust wheels on it. When I got it and saw those beautiful original wheels, there was no way I could make the change.
I love those wheels.
