Default Progress pics of my Z28

finished up the mini tubs the other night, and put the rear back in after being narrowed, still have some loose ends to finish up tomorrow like weld in the sway bar tabs to the frame, install/clearance the rear bumper, all in all not a bad job at all. i only got to work on it in when i had free time over the past few weeks.

rear is a moser 12-bolt narrowed 3" per side, MT 275/60-15 on 15X10 pro stars w/ 5.5" BS. mini tubs/spring perches are wolfe. the car sits up a little high yet since no weight is in it yet. next thing to work on is the cage and rear deck/bulk head.

so when in the furtue i choose to go to a bigger tire as the car progresses i dont have to worry about it. and its alot easier to move around the car when there is no cage in it at the moment.

by going 3" shorter on rear end does that mean u will need a thicker spacing?
I have been wondering if I go with a 1" narrower rear end would I need to go with same spacer or thicker. what I'm trying to do is go with deep dish rims. so would it be easier by choosing offset.

car looks good. I would like to do same on mind just dont have the time. (U S Navy)

If you want deep dish then go with thirdgen width. 82-92 camaro width. Then you can run 15x10 with 5.5bs or 15x8 with 4.5 bs
