Lincoln Mark VIII rear suspension widht?

[Ripper]

I bought some parts from a Lincoln Mark VIII for my new rear suspension. Since I didn't buy the whole rear suspension, it's kind of hard to know what width it should be (drive shafts are floating versions).

Does anyone know what width it has between the wheel mounting surfaces? The seller told me it was 58,5" between the mounting surfaces, but I would appreciate if anyone could confirm this?
I would also need to know what wheel sizes the Mark VIII was sold with and what backspacing they had.

It's one of these I bought

But I only bought these parts;

www.carnut.com (http://www.carnut.com) has a lot of info on rear end width's,and so does www.teufert.net (http://www.teufert.net) (dont know if it shows irs but it should be the same as the solid axl width,for that year car as i think the oe wheels are the same) :smoke:

Same rear ends as the 03-04 cobras. If that helps

It is SO not the same as the cobra. The parts you bought are from an MN12 chassis. The Cobra was a later version fox body or SN95, some call it fox3.

58.5 sound real close.
