I'm installing a b-body 8 3/4 housing into my 1975 Valiant. If I stay with the tires and rims that I currently have I will be left with a1/2" from the inside wheel well to the out side face of the tire.
The tires I have are P195/75R14. Will this tire size and location work properly with 500 HP?
Should I look into getting off set rims, so I can fit a wide tire into the wheel well?
Will a wider tire help performance ?
I'm thinking of getting new axles, so should I hold out until I can locate an A-body housing and get axles to fit it?
This will keep the 2" inside wheel well to tire space and give me more tire options, right?
Are all axles the same? I mean from the connecting point of the housing to the end of the studs, is that measurement typical.
If I go with the b-body housing can different axles move or shorten the overall length of the entire rear end?
Sorry if this is confusing, but my head is sping trying to figure all this out. Up until a few weeks ago I never even herd of a 8 3/4 rear end
Thanks for the help.
