Reply to "Forgeline Wheel Fitment for stock '72"

First off, thank you all for jumping in on this thread.  I live in Colorado but the car is being working on in So. Cal. before we move it here.  I just flew out a couple weeks ago to take all the measurements and I did so with the car resting on it's own weight so that the suspension was compressed close (ish) to where it will eventually be (if not a tad high as I'm adding an adjustable coil over setup).

Really appreciate the help as I can't just hop back and forth from CO to CA to get a quick measurement.  When I was there I really belabored each measurement.

@joules I'm not sure the dimensions are correct on Forgeline's website as 1. Marty told me himself the dimensions of his wheels (didn't know offset) and 2. Forgeline said that they couldn't dig up the past record of the build and so I think the website specs listed is a "best guess".  I could be wrong on that and Marty could have mis-remembered.  Either way, I love the look!

Also, if you see my measurement sheet, I also prefer 17" in the front with 18" in the rear (at least in theory). 

@albanygt40 I would if Forgeline or Marty could get me the full/correct measurements!

@davidnunn See my reply to @joules regarding Marty's dimensions. Your setup looks awesome! Thanks so much for sharing your measurements.  I'll go back this eve and have a proper think on this.  You wouldn't happen to have a few more pics showing a more extreme angle that better shows the wheel/tire inset from the fenders would ya?
