I am in the market for a new set of wheels for my '69 that will fit properly without scrubbing. My choices for the front (for the type of wheel I am looking at), are 15 X 7 with 3-5/16" BS and 15 X 7 with 4-7/8" BS. My rear choices are 15 X 8-1/2" with 3-5/16" BS and 15 X 8-1/2" with 4-7/8" BS. I would like for the front side of the wheel to have as deep an appearance as possible without the wheels being placed so far out as to scrub. Anyone with experience who can advise me on this matter will be greatly appreciated.
