If you're talking about the 10 spoke SS wheels, I don't think you'll be able to get those to work on the front? They measure 17x9.5" (I'm pretty sure?) and even with a large spacer, I don't see those working. The red witch has ZR1s on it, and I think Mark used the 17x8.5" up front. You may want to dig up some old articles and see if it mentions what spacers were used.

You'd have a better shot at the 17x8.5" ZR1s, but you'd need a spacer for sure. I'm going on second hand info here on the 8.5" wide ZR1s, so they may not even exist? I know that they make 17x9.5 and 17x11 ZR1s and I was told 8.5" versions as well. Hopefully someone else will know more about what size spacer you'd need.

The company SLP has the 17 x 9 SS Camaro wheel that looks like the ZR1 wheel. I have them on the front of my '69 with 2" wheel adapters and "short" 255/40/17 tires. I don't know how they would fit on a '67.
