How wide could I go on a 58 with a tranny raise? I seen that most of the pictures have cambered rear wheels to tuck in a deep wheel. My son's car doesn't have that camber. They are a reward for good grades. Oh and the car is pretty low too.

Lowrider how much tranny raise are you going for? I'm going to raise mine 1 inch with 15x7 and I hope there is no camber. |

I'm not sure how much it was raised because the previous owner did the work. All I know is that there is about a 1/2 to 3/4 inch gap between the shift rod and center hump. We are starting the process of making to my son's liking. He's on here too. Don't think he posts just reads |

You need a tape measure, and figure it out. Every car will be different, especially with the tranny raise. you might get 3" to 4" on the outside, and maybe 3" on the inside, but that's all a guess. Measure, measure, measure. Have fun. |
