Width suggestions for a rear end?
Looking to build a 9" rear for my 67' Mustang. My plan is to put perches on it at stock width for the leaf's, but would like to narrow the housing to accommodate a wheel with a deeper lip.
I believe stick width is 54"? Is there a certain width I should go to, or do guys just go narrow and have custom offset wheels made?

Buy the wheels and then measure for the rear end. Much safer way to go. I did the rear first and then got the wrong offset wheels.

I second that. Its much easier to get your tires&wheels first, then set in your wells and then take your inside measurement (wheel mounting surface to wms). I used a Bosch measuring laser and stringlines to find pinion center/offset. Most reputable shops will build your entire rear axle just based on those 2 measurements. Here's a pic of what I did if it helps any to give an idea.
