With my rims and tires mounted with my jig, I believe I ended up with 59.25" F to F with about 1.125" placing the tires roughly where I wanted them. Thats a half an inch shorter than what they (Moser) use as a stock width. The hat on the Aerospace Component brakes are .25 thick so that deducts another .5 off the measurement putting me at 58.75". I then decided I wanted another .25" clearance from the outside of the quarter since I had plenty of room on the back side for security clearance. That made the rear I ordered being 58.5" from flange to flange. I didn't get it all mounted up over the weekend to test fit the tires but I did get it set in and lined up. Just need to mark the tubes and make a few adjustments before I bolt it in place. Just going to put a small tack weld to keep it from moving until I set the pinion angle. Cant do that until I get the rest of the driveline in and resting on the ground. That will happen in the next couple of weeks.
