I'm surprised this got such a response. Thanks to all for the input
but on a
69 its not happening. And its certainly not happening with a 5.75" BS. The reason is "outer" fender clearance
I have the full system complete with the muscle bar. I have a 18x9.5" wheel with 6.25" BS (an extra 0.5" of fender clearance) and it doesn't clear the fender. Its really not even close.
Even with 6.25 I am sacrificing turning radius. at 6.75", which is probably what you need to get clearance, you are talking Austin Powers u-turns. at 5.75" my fender would be sitting on the tire.
On a 68 the fender is rounded and has more clearance for tire movement. Not so much on a 69.
Granted I still need to dial in some negative camber but you can see with zero suspension movement I can barely fit a nickel between the fender and the tire.
So i will maintain that the ridetech setup will not fit 275's on a 69 without giving up turning radius or flaring the outer fenders. I think ridetech really should re-evaluate making 5.75" BS reccos on a 69
