A '57 Pontiac big car rear is just about the perfect width. I think it's 58" - 59" IIRC. Tom S. has one under his '63 Tempest.

If you want a 9" the Ford 77-81 Granada/Versailles is 58" and from what I've heard here it's pretty close to perfect. Again, it all depends on the wheel width and offset used too.

I have a 28"x12.50" Mickey Thompson ET Street on a 15"x8" Mickey Thompson ET Drag wheel under mine and it's pretty close, but it fits.
