Thank you,

IIRC the rear was originally 57.5" disc wheel face to disc wheel face. The 1st chassis guy took .5" off each side to straighten the rear, which was too much. I can get you an accurate measurement later this week. IIRC 57.5" and a 15 x 8" wheel with 4.5" offset was just about perfect (Don't take that 100% to heart until I measure again).

Wheels are 3.5" offset (had to change to this from a 4.5" offset because the chassis guy cut the rear) and I have either a 5/16" spacer or a 7/32" spacer, I don't remember which, I'll have to check.

I did move the axle back a hair to open up some clearance in the front of the wheel well. I'll get an accurate wheelbase measurement for you next week.
