It tucks in under the outside fender with just an 1/8” to spare. With the car lowered there is no way you can turn the wheel and get any suspension travel without the fender sitting down on the tire.
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.
