I don't know if this makes a difference or not but remember that the 68 and 69 fenders are not flared out like the '74. They didn't start that until '70.

your right, the rear is the only noticable flare out...since they would have to tuck under pretty good...like the ones on my 74, i say i'll go with 4.5" backspacing on my next set of Boyds :D
