Looks great! The wheels are great. Now drive, enjoy, repeat. I hope you enjoy it as much as my wife and I have enjoyed our 67 Ambo.

Having a 67 rebel sst, wondering what the back spacing would be for the original equipment wheel. I believe the size of the tire was a 7.75x14. But I believe the rim was a 14x5-1/2 i havent taken the old tires apart to check the rims my self (if the wheels and tires I got with the car are the original)
Also, beautiful rides! Such lines!

Backspacing for an original wheel from about 70 on back will be centered on the wheel -- 5-1/2" wheel should have a backspace of 2-3/4". You will be fine with a 6" or 7" wheel, also close to centered. 67+ should be okay with an 8" wheel, it's a bit wide for the 63-66 big body though (again. close to centered backspace).

Uh... a 14" x 5-1/2" stated size rim with '0' offset would have 3-1/4" backspace would it not?
Here's parts manual info on what stock rims wheels:
