The idea that no chev pattern would have the correct offset is kinda weird.I just assume that early 70's gm would need similar offsets as the HQ as the systems would be close and the muscle cars of that era were still catching up to the rest of the world with discs brake systems.

I mean the offset of the standard HQ rim and tyre won't fit under an FC mudguard without rubbing on the lip when cornering.

Its cool to see opposite ends of the spectrum (Fink, I will say no more  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy) and Ken giving advice on different tangents there....Can you guys do a project together and post it up on youtube, that would make a good reality TV show what ya reckon.
