That's how we did it,Kim. My chassis shop built my rear end to fit my 17" wheels and tires. My 17x13's have 7" of backspace. Wasn't sure I wanted more because of the knockoffs.

Re: [Chevelle-List] ** Is this rear end worth while? **
I just removed a 48" wide 9" Ford from under my 69 El Camino with 15x14 Centerlines & 18.5x29.15 MT Sportsmans. 34" is way too narrow for your '71,IMO. Clint HooperLT5 Registry Directorhttp://www.LT5Registry.net/ACES #1650http://dalesplace.com/misc/friends/clint_hooper.htm - Original Message - From: Kyle Bennett For those of you that have knowledge in narrowing Chevelles, i have an important question that needs an answer within 3-4 days. I have located a narrowed rear end for my pro street project that measures 34 inches (flange to flange). Do you think this rear end width is about right for a 71 Chevelle? I know backspacing can be altered to acquire a better fit, but does the width seem to be in the correct range for my 71 project with 15x14 rims on 31x18.5 mickeys. Please give me your comments or suggestions concerning this rearend. If i get it, i need to make it happen within 3-4 days. Or if you know of a company that may be able to answer this question it too would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks a million, Kyle Bennett IncrediMail - Email has finally evolved - Click Here <>
Re: [Chevelle-List] ** Is this rear end worth while? **
Seems awful narrow to me ? 60.50 1964-1967 Chevelle 62.5 1968-1972 Chevellethats about 13 inches per side? Is it set up to bolt under a chevelle? better do some homework on this one. Larry (Z)
