Hey John
On your rear disk wilwood 11", did you use the 2-1/2" offset for 8.8" axle?
This looks like it would reduce my current offset (drums) by 1/2 to 1". I wouldn't mind moving my tires inward a little, but not sure if tires would rub inside the tub. My tires are P295/50R/15 mounted on am racing shelby knockoff look a likes . Do you remember the wilwood P/N?
