69 442 tailpipes

My tailpipes are awfully close to the tires, is this normal for these cars? I can fit one finger between them. Ty

The size of that gap prolly depends upon the wheel offset and tire width. So whatcha got on the rear?

It also depends on who fabricated the tailpipes and how they were installed.

If the tires can move that far sideways to rub, you have a bigger problem.

No rubbing but just looking at my GS running same size tires looks almost the same. I guess these a body cars run like that. Thanks
