Tire
The rear end in my car is for a 72 chevelle so it is an inch wider than a stock 67 rear-end. The 12 bolt I had in the car was the same one from a 72 chevelle. The back rims are 18x10 with a 6 inch back space. We have the rear-end almost centered and we trimmed the quarter lips out about an 1/8th of an inch now the tire has a little over a 1/4 of an inch clearance on each side. If I need to I could maybe backspace the wheel another 1/4 inch to get more clearance. Going to try it this away and see what happens (The rim clears just fine it is the 295/35 18 tire that is having a problem fitting)

Help
I have tried getting this rear-end centered but I have been unsuccessful so far. Can I take this to someone who does chassis work and have them get it centered without having to spend a fortune on a whole new setup?
The other thing is it ok to keep the rear-end where it is and just have the drivers side wheel re-rimmed with a little more back spacing?
Thanks
Brent
