Not to hi-jack, but maybe some useful info for the OP...
On my car, 295's, maybe 305s would fit if available in 18". I notched my frame before the ABC frame kits were available and when I did it, I only went 1.5" per side instead of 2". My frame is actually the limiting factor on the inboard side. With the tubs 2" wider and the frame, you should be able to get a 315 in there. 335/345's IMO would require moving the whole frame/trailing arms inboard on a 64-65 (or fenders out ie widebody). What alot of guys don't realize even thought the frames are interchangeable from 64-67, the 66-67 quarter lip-to-quarter lip is 2.5 - 3" wider (1.5"/side) than the early cars. Hence, 295's will fit in a non-tubbed 66-67.

And TY on the Forgelines, I'm very happy with them. PM me if you need any more info.
