Hey Kirk - The wheel Pros should jump in here, but a couple of thoughts for you...

On my 69 I have a 50 1/2" rear flange to flange. + 2" on each side for axles, I'm running an 18x12 rear wheel w a ~ 5.5 BS. Also, I'm pretty certain DSE could give you the number as well...

Thanks Ron,

I did talk with DSE and Boze, There working together, Im just double checking so there is no surprise when I get every thing. DSE is making the rear end 54"Flange to flange.. Boze is saying the BS should be 5.5

Ron Do you have any pictures of your rearend before wheels are on? Thanks again. You guys are a huge help...
Ron your car is looking awesome..

Thx for the compliment Kirk! Take a look the day I shipped her home. These are 5.5 BS wheels, not the 12" forgelines and no rear rotor, tho --
