69 Camaro Rearend - Lateral-g Forums

Aaron Vansickle · #1 04-13-2009, 05:47 AM

I have a 69 Camaro with a 9" Ford rearend w/ disk brakes
I want to run 20x10 w/ a 4" backspace
Can someone give me the measurement of length for this rearend to be cut down too
Would that measurement be from outside rotor to rotor?
Thanks

I would strongly recommend getting the wheels built the way you want and then mock them up in the car at ride height with tires on them and measure mounting pad to mounting pad to determine your rearend width. Way simpler and far more accurate.

Build the wheels first and put them under the car and get your measurements, then cut your rear end. This way it will be right the first time

I agree with Jason and Chris, the absolute best way is to get the wheels and tires under the car, and measure from there. We will not build a custom rear end without wheel/tire and body measurements, it's that critical.

Couldn't agree with these guys more. Never take someones "word" for it.

You could make this fun and have everyone guess to see who gets the closest!

I'll take a guess at 52", but again, don't take my word for it.

I recently put a Moser in a Chevelle, and it was offset to the passenger side 1/2" .

If I would of had the wheels before the rear, and they were tight in the wheelwells, this could of been a problem.

I'm not sure if Moser builds them this way on purpose, or if the rear end can be requested to be built centered.

Thanks for the replies
I agree wheels first
I have a rearend that is 51 1/2" and just wanted to know how close it would be of fitting
Thanks again

Aaron a starting point would be around 55.750 axle flande to axle flange If you use a brake rotor about .3125 thick. Always mes. twice & order rear end once.
