I'm happy to hear your 345's clear. I just sold my (completely gutted and no limits on tire size because of such) 69 coupe and got a 'vert instead. I was afraid of clearance issues with the DSE tubs but you make it sound good! How wide are your rear tires? Mine are 14.1 on a 13 inch rim (they are 20's tough).
I had them and kept them from the coupe project. I spoke with DSE about fitment but they have their reserves so real world data would be welcomed!
Also, i'm looking to buy a Z06 set up and Forgeline wheels. You seem to have no clearance issues with the wheels and calipers (which are thick) ...
BOZE are nice too!.
Definetely keep us posted...With more pics!

My rims are 11 1/2 wide which actually, I think, help the tires fit in the well. The overall width measurement of the tire mounted on the rim is 13". I don't think there's any way to fit a 13" wide rim with a 14" overall width tire. The 11 1/2 work great and the tire mounts and looks perfect, no issues whatsoever. If you are going to run the ZO6 brakes in the back with the ZO6 parking brake, The guy that is doing all my fab work can make a mount for the rears that mount everything very nicely. It was quite the job but now that he's done one, it shouldn't be a problem.
