That looks sweet Chris, same is what I'm going with. What width did you go with what are your wheel specs?

My wheels are 18x11.5 with 5.4" backspacing. My rearend width from axle flange to axle flange was 54".

I set my wheels and tires under the car and dropped a plumb bob from the 12 o'clock position on the wheel lip then set the outside edge of the tire 1/2" from the string. I have plenty of room on the backside...maybe 3/4"-1". I also trimmed the lips down to 5/8" wide for extra tire clearance. I may could have went 1/4" to 1/2" wider on the rear end, but everything seems to look dead on after mocking it up. I hope to have it on the ground next weekend (for the first time in 2-1/2 years), so I'll study it better then.

Remember, you can always add a small spacer, but it's a pain to cut the rear end again. Measure 50 times, then call Frank!

Thanks Chris.
