Assuming you mean 135’s. Either will work fine. _________________ 1960 Indigo Blue Ragtop (Blue Barry)

Are there any concerns to be aware of running 6.5" rears on a 62 lowered 2 splines? |

I have 17x7 BRMs I'm trying to put on the rear of my 60 Rag and I'm having clearance issues. Hitting the adjustment plates and my sidewinder exhaust I'm looking at using a wheel spacer. |

Depends on tire.. my short axle 67 bug runs 6.5 brms out back with 205-65-15 tires and stock bump stops. It is only slightly lowered and they rub inner fenders when I hit a big bump. |
