    Better for what? Run what you need to get the tires tucked in and looking right without hitting anything. You have to measure. On the rear of mine I have 15x8 with a 6" backspace.

    Is that with a Versailles 9 inch?

    I no longer have leaf springs so I should be able to go deeper yet. :bouncy:

    The rear is from a 70 Mustang.

    Duh! I remember now that you just mentioned that recently.

    Hey, but without those leaf springs, I may still get those 6's in there somewhere. :clap:
