Custom rear axle width recommendation.

[Bowtiguy]

I'm converting my 68 SWB narrow 12 bolt rear to the CPP big brake package and 5X5 lugs along with a 4.5/6 static drop.

I also plan on buying some BOSS 338's 20X8.5 F, 20X10 R wheels in the near future. Ive also read through the 338 thread....

Seams like the rear offset on the 20X10's is 5.5 BS and most guys with the narrow rears are running spacers.

Mark Williams Enterprises ( MWE) is right down for the road from me so I don't have to deal with shipping issues/cost. I think I'm going to have them install the weld-on housing end kits, dump the C-clips, and cut some axles for me. Then I can drop in my eaton posi/3:73's!

I have the option of having MWE widen the rear end assembly while they are at it. It seams cheaper to do this while I'm at it that a custom set of wheels.

any suggestions on over-all width?
