i eventually want to do a big 315 tire and mini tub it. but not right now. so i narrowed it 3" per side to be ready. with a 13+ inch wide tire and stock tubs, i had to run a spacer. its easy and cheap to buy a spacer than to go back and shorten the rear. i ordered this rear narrowed from strange.

You used half inch spacers on the rear? why not just shorten the rear 2 1/2 inches on each side and forget the spacers?
Am I missing something?

Because the 325/50 M/T Radials are wider then his slicks.......
Its exactly what imdoing..... i dont care to run a 28X10.5W, but i do want to run 325/50 on the street tucking them in the fender for both tires...

Not sure if they sell directly to the public. We buy them through Motorstate Distributing
Looking good John!

Damn John, looks badass! I love the alumastars and the radials looks badass! Now you need to steal the LT1 with the blower from the 95 Z/28 and you're set!
Kinda like 275/60/15 radials compared to 28x10.5 regular slicks ?

couldn't you just drill them out if they weren't clearanced for your studs?

I hope I am not being annoying but this rear is going to be expensive and I want to do it right the first time.
So I should shorten the rear 3 inches on each side and the 325 will work fine without spacers and I will have room to grow should I want to minitub later. Is this correct?
Thanks guys.

revtime, you are correct. again i dont want people to think this is a simple throw the rear in and throw the wheels on. it took extensive cutting and beating. but it can be done. i didnt touch the frame rails or anything though. just the wheel housing.

My car is a racehorse not a show queen.
I want my car to be presentable but if it has a few scars here and there I don't mind.
6 inch overall shortened 12 bolt it is.
