You are not going to need much spacer, on a stock subframe 1/2" spacer works with c6z06 wheels on a 67-68 camaro. Believe it or not. Reason? backspace/offset is different from c6 wheels, the hub to hub width on a c6 and c6z is the same, the wide body and wide stance of the z06 is done with wider fenders and wider rims offset to the outside.

Here are pics of c6 z06 rims on Randy (ProBell)'s 67; stock subframe, 1/2" spacers f/r, rolled fender lips. The tires are really pushed out on his car, on a 69 you may not want as much spacer. In a shameless plug, they are my spare rims for the z06 (changed to chrome), these polished ones are for sale $1500 w/75-80% tread left. -Dan

randys(probell) front subframe may not be a "aftermarket" piece but its been altered... so thats not really a good example.

as of taking that picture, the track width was stock, stock spindles with alum hubs (not the current big pin setup), stock subframe was not notched. I put them on my car to verify the tie rod and sway bar cleared and global west lower arms too. They are no different in width than the 285/17's CarlC runs.
