Narrowed rear end question

[901JB]

So who has a there rear narrowed and how much and what axle do y’all have , 10bt 12 bolt or other axle swapped , what the width from wheel mounting surface to wheel mounting surface and what size wheel with what offset

[jayoldschool]

You can get a big tire under there with a stock width axle and the correct wheels. How wide do you want to go?

[901JB]

Well the truck use to have 24x12 on it and rubbed the inner and outer fenders so I took the tubs out , gonna put the aftermarket wider tubs in this time , it’s got a 5 inch drop spring in it now and plan to add a 1 or 2 inch drop block and I think im gona do a 22x12 this time with a decent lip

[jayoldschool]

Yep, that would qualify, lol. Can't remember the numbers, but a passenger car 12 bolt is narrower. Another decent choice would be the 91-96 B body 8.5 ten bolt (not the 7.5). But, that is 5x5 pattern. Or just call Strange and write the big cheque.

I have a caprice disk rear in it right now , but I’m wanting to swap back to 6 lug wheels but disk

[jayoldschool]

Redrill the axles and rotors for the 6 bolt pattern.

I was thinking like a Tahoe or 1500 truck with disk because it’s already 6 lug and better gears ratios and a lsd and bigger brakes , can get a Tahoe/truck rear and for $160 at u-pull-it , my caprice rear has open diff and like 3.23 gear, be cheaper to buy the Tahoe or truck rear and buy shorter axles

That's how I'd do it.
