For as many camaro's and firebirds are out there every wheel company should have a bunch of wheels specificly for this application
Ive been looking and they just don't make many that really fit a pro touring 67-69 F body perfectly

What kind of wheels did you purchase?

I've never had any issues with wheels not fitting perfectly from any wheel manufacturer.

But then again that's because I measure all my cars before I order wheels, perfect fit off the shelf wheels for muscle cars don't exist. The ONLY way to get a proper fitment is to measure yourself, no matter what other people have used, or what the forums say. They didn't care about tolerances back in the day when they only had to make a 15x7" wheel fit. Throw in differing brakes, swapped rearends, different suspension... and there's so much variance, it's in any wheel company's best interests to NOT specify a direct fit wheel. This way the liability falls squarely on the buyer... if it doesn't fit, the wheel company doesn't have to eat the costs from recommending a wheel that fits "most" cars, but not some.

the rear inside?

the tire is rubbing on the frame rail? or is it rubbing on the fender?
