A previous owner of my '68 had swapped in a wider '70 rear end, so I ended up finding a narrower '68 housing when I rebuilt my rear end. The first photo below is with 15x8s all around and a wider rear end. The second photo is 15x7s in the front and a narrower rear end.
Very interesting! Thanks for the tip!
