 |

this will fit in the back of my 65 right? im pretty sure long axles started in 67
for the front im gonna be on 165-60s on 5.5" wheels ... front is getting a 5.5" beam
id rather go a lil wider in the back and keep it closer to the lip
id like to run 205-65s or maybe even 205-70s on the back to give a nice rake, if i drop it at all it will be just 1 click .. but probably keep it stock
what do you guys think? if possible any pics?
i searched, but info is all inconclusive really.. thanks

i just read that they are 6's now 6.5 ...
might not matter since i was buyin em since whitney has such a good deal, and they only carry the 5s..
seems like that extra 1" in teh back would look way better though

No unfortunatly you cant run 8 digits on a plate in Calif, some states i think you can, however i do roll that plate on there all the time, and just keep my dealer plate with me when im driving it, I did however just get this plate ok'd from DMV and will be running it on another one of my cars...
