axle width is 55.5 wide with 30.5 long axles on the narrow rear end. earlier rear end
axle width is 57 wide with 31 5/16 long axles on the wider rear end. later rear end


this site is helpful in seeing sidewall measurements and what fits on rims https://www.rimsntires.com/specspro.jsp
That website is pretty dang cool, I'm going to have to bookmark that.
Up front I'm running ridetech strongarms and cpp drop spindles/big disc package so everything should be fine up there. The 245/45s should buy me a little bit of extra room but still be able to have some sidewall.

I'll have to make some spacers for the rear but shouldn't be a big deal. Once I get them in I'll get some measurements to try to get everything where it needs to be.

Thanks a lot for the feedback!
