I just measured all that this weekend. If you have a 3 1/2" backspace on your rear wheels you will need a 50" (flange to flange) rearend. BUT, re-check your front wheels fit inside your wheel wells. Mine stuck out a full 2" with either Trigo or Vintage knock offs. The fix is to buy $2000 worth of custom spindles and brakes from Cobraracing in Torance, CA or cut your upper and lower A Arms. I narrowed my rearend to 49 1/2" and the Vintage Wheels fit perfect on the rears. No such luck on the fronts with any of the available knock offs.
