i need to know how much the wildwood brakes change the offset of the wheel towards the outside of the car.

I went from the small drum brakes to Wilwoods on mine, and I honestly don't think it changed the offset at all. If it is changed, it's only a very small amount.

i had the 10" drum on mine.just finished the wilwoods today & it looks like they may be at least a 1/2" out farther.

I did the same swap,I think mine might be 1/4-1/2" wider,I didn't measure but it did move the tires out very slightly.The difference in stopping power negates that IMHO.

Wilwood usually moves the tires out 1/4"-1/2". Aerospace moves the tires in 1/4". Car looks good and you should definitely notice a difference in stopping power.

I don't recall mine moving but I also don't recall paying attention LOL. I was running a taller wider front tire back then and it didn't cause any trouble.

Part # AC-290. Besides, we would have measured everything and had them built to spec anyway. Your WWs are a huge improvement over factory.

had a chance to do some measuring and came up with a 1/2" difference.also can you get longer studs that hold the axles in because when i add the rear bracket the studs are to short.
