I have them on mine with a 66 b body rear and offset spring hangers. Has good clearance on both inside and outside. 5" back spacing is just right on mine

Mine has 10" wheels on it with 11.5x29.5 Micky Thompson slicks. I also run a late 60's Dana out of a Road Runner. I have offset front spring hangers, but I also straightened the springs to be parallel with the center line of the car. No problems here. I did have to turn the top of the wheel well "lip" up to gain clearance there.
Good luck with yours,
Brian

Nice car Koby. I run at Bristol mostly. Sometimes I go to Knoxville, Newport or London,Ky. I only live about 11 miles from Cherokee (in Rogersville, Tn). I lived in Murfreesboro until 2006. I still make it back to Music City or Middle Tenn raceway once in a while.

Yes. Fri and Sat Aug 30-31 I think fri is car show, swap meet and test and tune. Sat all of that plus racing all day. They've combined the Ford show and Mopar show in the same weekend, but other than the all run race sat afternoon, the rest of the program is seperated by makes of cars. I run the 1/8 mile footbrake class and the 1/4 mile sportsman class, so I'm looking foreward to racing in three races on sat. Be a long, fun day if I can go some rounds!
Where in Middle Tn are you located?
