I have the full ridetech setup and I don’t believe there is any way you can run 5.75” BS on a 10” wheel in a 69. The fender shape just won’t allow it. If you look at the people with this setup on the 67/68 the tire does not sit up inside the fender like it does on a lowered 69.
I’m sitting at 6.25 BS on a 9.5” wheel. Dirty Silver is at 18x9 with 5.9. I may get close with -1.5 or -2.0 camber.
I’m also rubbing the frame when the tire turns. So not only does it not fit it cuts my turning radius as well.
If anybody has a stock subframe with all of the ridetech suspension components and an 18x10 wheel out there I would love to hear from them. If they have it my guess is the are sitting at 6.75” BS or somewhere near there.
This 69 has 19x10" wheels and does not rub. I do not remember the backspacing but that is not important as long as the wheels are properly fitted to the rear end. I have a better pic of it, but it is on my phone.
