The 22 is standing and the 24 is mounted.....the picture is a little deceptive. The backspace on the 24's is 5.5. I did narrow the axle and the approximate measurement from outside hub to hub is 59". The back wheels are set it because as the truck gets lower and the top of the inside of the bed gets narrower. I wish I would have put an independent rear end on because the rear tires wouild tuck in better. I have 6.5 inch backspace on the fronts to try to keep the fronts and rears in line with each other. I do have the tires mounted on the back so if you want a picture of how the 24/s set in there let me know. I have been get all of my parts from Porterbuilt Street Rods as well.
