Why are you changing the wheels? And nice work on rescuing the Firebird from slowly rusting away!
I was referring to the spots where the U-bolts are. I have leaf spring pads between the springs and axle perches. The original mono leaf had a pad between it and axle perch, but not on the shock plate.

The Budnik wheels were nice, but it has the valve stems behind the spokes. I had to use flush mount stem to clear the calipers, and them flush mount stems are quite a pain. There are times when I checked the tire pressure and found out the stems are behind the calipers.
