i dont want to scare you but it looks like it may be a problem... what wheels are you using? if they dont stick out of the wheel wells now you could buy a wheel spacer that would space your wheels out 1-2 inches which would give you lots of clearence
The shock goes up on angle to body, I think you'll be OK but you won't know till body on??? One of those wheels I gave you has more offset than the other!!! Hows the other side??/ They will work for a "ROLLER" for your Chassis. If not switch the 14" to the back,& use the 15"s up frt.

I think you're going to be OK. I've seen a few A-Bodies where the lower shock bracket was ground away to clear the wheel and there was no rubbing on the tire up top because of the angle of the shock. That's speaking for A-bodies though, so for peace of mind, see if you can find another full size and sneak a peek underneath. I seem to recall the shocks are on about the same angle but can't be certain. I would expect more concern about clearance at the top of the wheel on the inside of the wheel well. Again on A-bodies, there's a hump in the wheel tub that is often beat flat (with a BFH) to make room for big tires...

It might not rub but it might be really hard to get the tires on when the body is mounted. To get my 15s on i have to jack the car up pretty high so the suspension hangs low enough and i have to get it a little "nudge" to get it in there. But then again my wheel well is a different shape so that might have something to do with it.

i just checked on my 69 witch is still together and you should be good as long as mine and yours are the same wat size of tires you runnin i may be able to test fit some and tell you for sure
if it does not fit im going to be running about the same width but with equal backspacing on each rim =) thats my goal and i have to replace part of the wheel well so i might as well make them a tad bit bigger if need be but i mesured the the tires and the wheel wells im worried about the height of the tires i might have to put some lifting blocks under the springs or get bigger springs but those are the width i want i guess ill make it work =)
