      What are you putting them on? If it is for a typical GM application (A or F-Body) the BS for the front wheels is off by almost a 1/2 an inch. I would look into the Vintage Wheel Works version.

      I believe you'll need to run a wheel spacer for caliper clearance assuming you're going to run OE C5/C6 brakes which will impact your BS/fitment numbers. Either way, that's something you'll want to confirm, regardless of the brakes you're going to run.

      I am not a fan of spacers... and the recent 15% Increase in the ATS spindles has we rethinking them as well... over 1K for spindles is pushing the $ to value espically of it forces me into more expensive wheels....

      So i may go with stock spindles drum rotors turned down and a G-mod or tall Bj's.... this is the stuff that makes this hard... finding all thie pieces that play well with one another and still meet the golas and budget..

      I love that rim, and I've also thought about putting them on my ride.

      Ol' Liz Miles had/has them on her orange 68 and they look good. Stepped lip I think.....

      I think Reckn8 also had them on his 69....can't find pics of it though.

      I had 17's with ATS spindle with C6 (Kore3) calipers. I had to use a spacer. I changed to 18's. These were AR Torque thrusts but I think you would have same issue.
