going w/ a 9" and have some ?'s
ive decided to go with the mwc 9 inch and have a few questions. this is gonna be a first for me, so if anyone has any advice i would really appreciate it. anything i need to look out for? should i have it narrowed any and if so how much? the car is lowered 2 inches, so i was wondering how tall of a slick i can run and how much work will it take to fit an 11.50? im settin the car up for the strip and i could care less about how streetable it is. like i said, im open to any advice, opinions, warnings, answers, and whatever ya have to say about it haha. anythings appreciated. if i left out any key info let me know....im learnin

The info that I am working on at the above link may help you out. It is directed towards the Moser rears, but it may still answer some questions. Bob

ABQ99TA is asking what would normal street wheels (i.e. zr1, zo6s) look like with a narrowed back end? I always wondered that myself.
Also to the OP I am m6 and went with a full spool. The less parts that move, the less parts that break..heh

just becuase somebody runs a full spool, doesnt mean they are hardcore. I ran a 9" spool with 4.57 on the street all the time. Track use was awesome though. Only noticed the spool on launch and in tight slow speed turns like in parking lots.
I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND A SPOOL.

The car would have to either have deep dished wheels to keep the tires centered, or the car would need to be tubbed for a much wider wheel. You would no longer be able to use the stock wheels unless the car was tubbed, and then the wheels would be way under the car and it would look weird. Bob

i probly will have it narrowed, im goin with aftermarket wheels/slicks. thing is, my cars lowered 2 inches, so whats the tallest/widest slick that i can run?
yea im not real familiar with the spool. i just figured on goin w/ the locker. but i hear someone complain that it wore the synchros out. not too worried about it, between the stuff im puttin on and the way im gonna drive it, stuffs gonna break. but if theres a better way that can keep all that to a minimum that'd be great.
the more questions in here the better. im sure theres a lot of questions i need to ask that im not aware of at this point. great info so far thanks guys

On my Camaro I ordered the rear one inch shorter on each side, then I went with 15 x 10 Weld Wheels with a 6.5 inch backspace. The 325/50R15's are perfectly centered. Bob
