Rear Axle width selection
Currently I have a stock Chevelle rear axle, which is 61” wide. I have a set of C5 Z06 rims, which will require 2” wheel adapters on each side for the correct backspacing. Which will total an axle width of 65”. I have decided to run a Ford 9” rear axle and I have a choice of several different axles. Basically I can get a Ford 9” with the same axle width as the original Chevelle axle, or I can get a 9” from a Ford truck which has a total width of 65”. This would allow me to run my Z06 rims without any adapters on the rear wheels. Why wouldn’t I go with the wider rear axle?
Thanks.R.J.
