This is a 4th Gen (93-97) Camaro axle, which should be about 65.5" WMS to WMS. Give or take .5"
My 17x9.5 wheels have a little room to go out (towards fender), but with the huge positive offset, they sit in a little bit, so I cut the bed and will add small tubs. I may reverse this if I change rear end and use different wheels. Long story short, with proper offset/backspace, you should be able to fit a 9" wheel without tubbing.
I 'm probably going to swap to either a 3rd Gen Axle (61.5" WMS-WMS) or a Ferd Exploder 8.8, but shortened 3". I don't know what that width will be, but it'll center the pumpkin and be close to the width of my Jag IFS, so I can run similar backspace front and rear.
