How can it have 4 inches off each side and use stock style suspension? It would be into the lower arm brackets.

What tire size?

What tire size?

He told me he’s going with a 29.5 x 10.5. The tire in the pic is a W tire

Why did he take so much off the rear then????

THe quarters will probably need to be stretched because of tire growh.


How fast is the car?

4 inches on each side.

The housing has only been shorted 3 inches per side. Cut off 4.5 inches and added a 1.5 inch housing end. The overall length is 47 inches end to end.

I put 33 10.5 W on my mustang and didn’t stretch the quarters.

Minimal weight loss. Although it is rotational weight, I agree. The next problem is that the wheel will have a high negative offset which increase strain on the end of the axle and bearing.

My $.02

And to answer your question, yes to fit a wider wheel and a bigger tire.

Mine is 49.624 from flange to flange. 54.374 from axle flange to flange.

Equates to ~2.25 shorter on each side.

[Pwraddr]

Yeah it does look sick, I agree!
