I measured mine and came up with 56" wide outside brake drum to brake drum
Useing a 4.5 back spacing I'm going to stretch the wheel wells for a 9" slickX28"
Tall with a 7" rim. I know it's gona be tight but I like that full wheel well lock also
I'm gona mount my cross member just inside the rear floor area I want my ride
Hieght to look stock and I want this thing to hook on water LOL.
Right now I'm fighting the flu so not getting much done can't seam to shake
This bug. Again the info here is secomd to none.

Should fit pretty easy. I have a 28x12.5 M/T ET Street under mine (15x8 M/T ET Drag wheel)

Do you remember what you rear hub to hub width is? And what is your 8" rim offset? Did you use spacers?

Did you also move your rear axel back? If so how many inches?

Thank you,
Chris

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.

Thank You. I am working on a fairly special 63 Lemans build with another guy. This information will be helpful.

Thanks,
Chris
