To narrow or not to narrow rear end
 
I'm doing a gen 2 f body build LS2,T56,Martz front clip w/dynalites , mini tub Fab9 and Martz 4 link. rear wheels will be 18x10, standard length of housing is 60 3/4" . should I narrow? If so how much?

Without narrowing the rear end your limited on the dish size of your rim. Big brakes also effect this rim without narrowing.
If I could turn back time I would narrow my rear.

Buy the rims you want then narrow the rear to suit. If you like deep dish, then you probably be narrowing.

:_paranoid uh...i agree buy the rims, cut the axle to match

the handling argument is that the wheel will weigh the same, regardless of offset, the rear eill weigh more the wider it is... so the shorter the rear, the less unspring weight....

also it looks cool:D
