That said, I'm running 18x12 335s with a 5.5" backspace on a 57" WMS to WMS rear end width in my 68. If I'm not mistaken the 2nd gen rear end is wider than the 1st gen. If that is the case my ciphering indicates a 56.25 WMS to WMS rear will be too narrow for a 2nd gen.

Agreed! to prove it, I have a 69 Camaro with 18x12's and 335's with 5.5bs on a 55.5" wms to wms.

The difference is in the "pad"
