John do you happen to know your measurements for the rear end? I'm using the same size wheel but with a 5.25" backspace

Is that a WMS to WMS measurement?

That 54.75" is from housing flange to housing flange not axle flange. The WMS to WMS of that rear end is in the neighborhood of 57" otherwise those wheels will not fit that car. My 18x12 5.6bs wheels are running on my 57" WMS to WMS rear end.

I'm just finishing up a 67 with 17x12" rear wheels, 6" BS. I had the 12 bolt narrowed to 55" WMS to WMS. Running a 315/35/17. The rear in my 69 is 56" WMS to WMS running 18x12, 6" BS and 335/30/18. Both cars have rolled fender lips. Each car is a bit different, but I have nearly equal space between the tire/fender lip, and tire/inner wheel house. Hope this doesnt muddy the water, just thought it may help for comparison. Scott

just to make sure I understand WMS is the measurement from outer surface of the brake rotor (wheel mounting surface)??? correct?

Steve couple questions, what tire size are you running in the back and did you need to modify your front inner fender wheel wells? Understand you rolled the outer fender lip but i was more concerned with the inside clearance.

Thx

Not sure. Just reading off the receipt from when it was ordered. I believe it is the total width.
