Does anyone have experience with this combo on the rear of a 68? Two issues, will the 17 clear the stock shock mount of a 12 bolt with a 5" plus backspace, and will the 9.5 rims with 275's fit within the wheel well even if the rear has been dropped 1.5"? I love the "Vintage 45" (16 x 8 only) wheel but I'm looking for more width at the rear. Any experience is appreciated.

Looks like I posted an identical question to an earlier one, sorry. Are there any photos of such success available to e-mail?
