Thanks man. Were your 60s consistent or do you think you could have made a change to something to make them better or more consistent if they did vary much?

I would prefer to stay with an 8.8. It sounds like I'm not going to have any problems from the respnses so far.

Wolfe makes the offset lowers,they stay in the same location but move the control are over an inch or so where they connect to the rear end.Alot of radial guys need them for tire clearence.Also Competition Eng. now makes a full lower control arm kit with relocation brackets that weld to the rearend so you will be able to narrow the housing as much as you want.Hope this helps out.

One thing to remember is you can only go as far as the frame rail with the mini tubbs,the frame rail has to be notched and boxed in.I'm not positive on SN95 but you have alot more room for a tire than a fox,the wheel wells are bigger and the rear ends are longer.Good luck with your choices,car looks killer too
I'm not sure how far you want to go with it but most people start with the mini tubbs then stick the tire under then build the rear end then order the right backspacing rim.
