My stock axles (I have a 373 and a 411 that I want to get rid of - anybody?) that are both 58" from bolt brackets side to side. I have my wheels ordered with 5" back spacing and my rear end at 54". What do you think? Will this combo fit with opening up the tubs or should I call and have the back spacing set at 4".
Thanks for you input.

Wheel Mount Surface = WMS, and yes, shortened the housing/axles. Based on what worked with my set-up, 4" BS would seem appropriate w/mini-tubbing...but you may be measuring rear end width differently than I. I have just enough room between tires/springs/frame/brakes/arms, and body for my specific set-up...I don't think much more could be squeezed in there. Your set-up will be different...hopefully you can glean a bit of info here to make your decisions easier
