68s are the same.

 

255x17's on the rear with no probs @ 1" lower and i run 275/15 drag radials also with no probs so you should be fine with 17's

 

Thanks i was hoping to run 245's or 255's on the rear. What backspacing do you have? What are you running on the front?

 

4.5" backspacing on front and rear. running 245/45/17 on the front 255/45/17 on the rear.. for the drags i run 15's @ 275/50/15's on the front and (not home so i can't be sure) 165? 60 15's on the front..?

i have no rub with either, i run '66 v8 springs on the front which dropped quite abit and 1" in the rear.

 

okay sorry for beating to death a over asked question

will a stock 8 inch axle will a 17X9 wheel fit on the rear?

or must i go 17X8 all the way around?

i plan on lowering the front 1 inch but leaving the rear end stock hieght(new springs all around)


if i get a rear axle that is one or two inches shorter will this alleviate thist problem.
