Turns out the front left wheel wasn't rubbing on rust but an old attempt at a fiberglass repair. The tire also may have rubbed on the fenderwhell just a bit under full compression of the suspension. I may run just enough wheel spacer to clear the calipers and I believe that will cure the problem as I'm running 3/8" spacers now. It happens rarely so it doesn't bother me at the moment.

Car looks great. I want to do something similar with my ‘68 before I tear it apart to restore it. The 15x6 E-Ts and F70 tires are too tiny.

At least now you have tried and know. Otherwise you would always wonder.

Turns out the spacers were causing most of the problems on the tires rubbing not the actual diameter of the tires. I removed spacers that were 1/2" thick (I thought they were only 3/8" thick from memory but I was wrong. I replaced the 1/2" spacers with 1/4" spacers and the rubbing is virtually gone. On a big bump it rubs a tiny bit on the wheel well on the LH tire but I think I can run a smaller spacer before the wheel spoke contacts the caliper and likely cure it! I also realized the subframe could have been moved up just a smidge to cure the tire rubbing on the lower portion of the fender as well but so far the spacers have done the trick.
