Rear end width?

[redss86]

This one is for Norm and Marcus, or anybody else who wants to chime in.



I have an 86 Monte Carlo SS that I am building as a pt car. I am planning on going w/ the G5 front suspension, and have the truck arm setup for the rear.

I am going to build a custom 9in rear end. My question is this: Would be to any advantage, as far as handling goes, to either widen or narrow the actual width of the rear end?

I don't currently have any measurement of the factory width, or my actual suspension measurements yet.

Just wanting to get some ideas.

Thanks for the help,

Joe
