Also looks like what I want is about 4.75 to 5" backspace on the fronts and 5.5" on the rears based on the set-ups I've seen on other postings. So could be some substantial spacers needed. I assume that will also mean longer studs needed. Anyone pull the studs on the rears? Can that be done without removing the entire axle? Thanks for the help! This site and members are awesome.
NOT spacers, but rather bolt-on adapters. The adapters bolt on to the hubs/axles and the wheels bolt on to the adapters. FWIW, I use 2" on the back and 1.875" on the front of my '68.
