If I move the springs in with the offset hanger kit what is the largest tire size(ET street) and what back spacing will fit the stock wheel wells? I am running a 1972 Barracuda and am building a 9 inch and will make it what ever width I need. I do not want to cut the car but do not mind welding in the spring hangers.
Thanks

Thanks for the replys. I tried searching but guess I need to learn how to narrow down the results some. I entered tire size E Body and got results for everything.

Appreciate the help
Steve

If you use my 1" offset kit, a 59 1/2" wide rearend assembly works nicely with a 10" wheel and 5" of backspacing.

If you use my 1 1/2" offset kit with a 59 1/2" rearend, run a 10" wheel with 5 1/2" of backspacing. You could also make a 58 1/2" wide assembly for 10" wheels with 5" of backspacing.

When you search....use quotes...like this:

"challenger tires"

and try + between words too...like this:

"chllenger+tires"
