Rear wheel and tire fitment update. Rear tires rub under hard cornering just a hair on the inner wheel well with the 15x10 4.5" BS wheels and M/T Indy Profile N50-15s. The N50 Protracs I had on my Cragars had less sidewall bulge so when I installed the steelies with M/T tires I noticed less clearance than expected. Both N50s I'm running at 20psi. Instead of swapping tires I've installed GM third gen Camaro wheel spacers which did the trick. They are steel spacers factory .150" +/- .020" thickness which is perfect for what I needed. The spacers are GM part 14091902. I bought mine used.

Tomorrow my 67 is entered into a local car show. I'm going to clean up the windows and hopefully people will be able to appreciate the car. This is my first show where I actually registered and paid a fee. I'm promised a goodie bag, a sign, and a shirt? Anyway we will see what happens
