i want to put a 10 wide wheel and and at least a 295 50 15 possibly a 325 50 15 under our challenger i was under the impression that if i used a 66-67 b body rear and offset hangers i could do this i have found a 66 8 3/4 rear but have also see a digram that list all mopar cars(mid 60-70s) rear end measurments acording to it there is no differance at all from a 66-67 b body rear then a 68-70 b body also thought the overall width was same but the perches were closer togeather???? so one final time can i put this rearend under car with that wheel/tire i do not want to have to cut and reweld the spring perches thanks

Your Challenger will look like this with 325/50/15s.
Darryl that is a great shot. I'd like to see more pics of the car. Did you have any problems with the exhaust system?

This combination usually works best:
1. '65-'67 B-body rearend 2. 10" wheels with 5" of backspacing 3. DoctorDiff 1" offset spring hanger/shackle kit
You do not have to move the spring perches
shoot, i just bought a 69 b body rear which I see is slightly wider than the earlier rear.
If i get this offset hanger kit and 10" wheels, will the 325's fit my 70 cuda? or is there a different offset or backspacing required?

I used the same with the Dr Diff kit and a 67 B body 8 3/4. Worked great. I had to move my fuel line is a bit because the spring rubbed on it a slightly.
