im getting some 15" Bogarts for track duty, im also replacing the funky SVO/Mk7 length saleen used with some 31 spline stock fox body length axles. my question is what back spacing will i need with a 9" wheel with a stock fox body length axles so i get good clearance with some 275/50/15 MT ET DR's?



Thanks, Scott

I agree. Unfortunately you have to shell out some coin and have someone make them for you -- Weld and Centerline haven't caught on yet.

5.5" should work well too.
