And those are words that every car builder should have ingrained in their eyelids. I wish I did. I go forward sometimes without a proper plan. Big time mistake. And I have paid, in money and time. Re-working something that should have been planned out ahead of time.
My problem was money and a lack of vision. I would tackle a sub-system just to get it all done then change my mind because I realized I could do a better job by doing a complete job instead of piece mealing it. But.... Thats the hazards of taking a project that should have taken a year to 15 years and still working.
Ok, for the rear end housing width. The wheel are the starting point. Yeah, it sounds kinda backwards. But now looking back I would build my car from the wheels up. I kinda got lucky, I was shooting in the dark when I ordered the housing. I took it down 1.5" on each side (3" total) from stock. I would have liked to narrow it by another .5" on each side. So I ended up having to use a custom back spacing. I prolly would have gone with these wheels anyway. But a half an inch less on the housing still woulda been nice. JR
