1969
Front
2.5" Spindles
15x4.5 type 3 steels (+46? Offset)
165 65r15
Rear
+5/-5
Stock 15x4
165 80r15
Want to go slightly wider in the rear and fill guards. May either widen a spare pair or purchase a set of 5.5s (however it seems they have more positive offset than stock?) Any ideas on what fits with long axles? |

Look at how the adjusters are oriented; they're about 90° different from one another.
4 more articulation without bottom adjj interference with pan head |

Just wanted to post up my 63. I have a 5 inch shockless beam from Sam at Valley autowerks, 2.5 drop spindles on drums. The fronts are 5.5 smoothies from JBugs with Conti 145/65R15. The rear is just a combination of inner and outer splines to get me where I wanted. Honestly I went up and down so many times I stopped counting and just worried more about degrees. The rears are 7 wide smoothies from US wheel. They have 4.25 backspacing and are pretty tight on the inside and may need to massage the body mount to clear when hitting bumps. I was hoping they would fill the fender a bit better. Stock swing plates with no notching. Tires are Ironman 205/60R15 and like I said they just clear the body mount.
