the most perfect fit would have been 4 13/16 BS front and 5 7/8 BS rear

Big sway bars and perfect bump stops keep you from worrying about rub.

285/40/18 has the perfect height and width for a 67 F body.

Well done, and this fitment shows that there is more than one way to skin a cat.

Your example illustrates that the key to getting the proper look is how the tire/wheel fits the wheel opening, not necessarily how low the car is. The 285 is nominally about 27 inches tall. The larger diameter lets you fill the wheelwell without having to run so low. Anyone looking to duplicate could go as small as a 9.5 inch rim width and still be inside the manufacturers recommendations. The bumpstop is an important part, because that tire/wheel isn't going to tuck inside the wheelwell.
