I have installed a 8.8 drum break rearend into a 95 mustang! I have installed 5 lug axles with spool also....Can anyone tell me how much wider the disk break rearend in the 95 is compared to the 90 8.8 ??? I know the housings R the same' just the axles R longer...Also what is the widest wheel and tire i can run after this swap?? Thanks....

The housings are the same size. If remember right the 95 Axel are about 3/4 inches longer per side so 1.5 inches wider then the earlyer 8.8.
Sorry I can't help you on the wheel size maybe someone else will chime in...PB
