      Let me start over, I'm replacing the rear frame rails on my 69 Camaro and wanted to know if anyone has ever thought of moving the rails inboard to acheive the same as offset shackles????

      Like baz said, if you are doing the work anyway there is no reason not to but, this is a lot of work if you are only looking for a couple of inches or so. Moving the rails inboard will create more room for a larger tire then simply offsetting the shackles. Offsetting the shackles gives more clearance to the "spring" only. It does not increase clearance to the rails.
