99-04 width too wide for the look you are going after with those wheels??

yes...my rims are 15x10s with a 6.5 BS and after adding the beadlock the rim is OUT almost 3/4" of inch. I should have gotten rim with a 7.5 BS but since this is done Iam going to swap to a 87-93 rear end due to housing being 1.5" shorter to begin with. I will have to send my axles back to strange to have shortened but in long run it will be the best for my set up.

Iam thinking I can use all my existing c-clip elim stuff I got from stange (hoping) and just shorten axles to fit correctly.
 
WHy not shorten the exsisting axle 1 inch and be done with it? Have it straightened and put a brace on it while you're at it then you don't have to worry about setting up another axle? I'm assuming you'rs is alreqady set with gears and such. 1inch off would be nothing.

didnt know I could without changing flange ends?? to use my same brake setup? I need to set up the axle to begin with and thought the money I would have to put into my existing housing I could just buy a shorter one to begin with?
 
Why not shorten em to 94-98 Lengths and get a 90-98 Housing???

That way, yer rotor lines up the caliper again.....

Hmmm, if you don't already have a rear end set up, why not look into swapping to a 9"? You may have to change brake set ups, but in the end would you be spending less money on a more reliable rear end?

I would imagine you could use the exsisting flanges, but Dave Z would know better. I don't see how buying a 9" end or the same end already on there would be any different? Other than the 9" end is a nice upgrade worth doing. But seriously, if you are starting from scratch, minus the brakes, i would check into going 9".

Dom,

I can shorten the axle for you and have the jig for squareness. You buy the beer I do the cutting and welding while you wait.
