Ok guys here’s my question

I have a 92 mustang stock suspension car Im building. I am running a 15x12 rear rim with 3”backspace and ~28x10.5 tires.
Im getting ready to narrow my 8.8 housing. Im coming up with 41.5” housing end to housing end. I know ppl have done this, do any of you guys have your numbers written down?
Thanks

If you want to run a 12" wheel with a 3" backspacing, you won't be able to do it with the stock suspension mounting points.

If you put the 9" ends all the way up against the LCA mount on the rear end, a 12" wheel with a 6" or 6.5" backspacing will work.

This is a standard Skinny Kid race cars type rear:

This rear requires a 12", 6-6.5" bs or a 10", 4.5" bs on a fox mustang.

Yeah I realise that. My plan is to move the lower conrol arm brackets in, mostlikly making my own or getting some from Team Z. I am using 9" ends. BTW do you know your housing width?
