Hi Guys Sory inex question
To run a 10 inch wide rear wheel would the rear subframe connectors need to be moved or is it ok to leave them in the original position?

i'm curious about this too. i THINK if you mini tub, and relocate the springs or make rear coil overs that you can fit a 10" wide wheel with a creative backspaceing. i have yet to comfirm this MYSELF, but maybe someone else can chime in..

9.5 Inch

I have 9.5" (inside to inside) rear wheels,



With a 5.5" backspacing



I have tubbed the rear and I get 3" of clearance from the frame.



Now I have removed the stock rear springs and the axle bump stop. I replaced the entire axle with a coilover. The stock springs may be your biggest obstacle!

If you look at this thread, you can see what we've done w/ my 66, which has even less room. Easily have 12" under the stock sheet metal!
