Okay, I finally got the car dropped on the ground after a year of sitting on
jack stands.
When I measured the track last year, I was 2" under the max track width in the
rear, 54.6", which I'm presuming is due to the fact that the competition axles
are not for the 1500, but rather for the early cars. But even then, there
must be a different track measurement than the factory because I have 3/4"
spacers on each side for two reasons, one to clear the caliper in the rear and
two to increase the track
Now I'm left with a interesting dilema...how to increase the track in the rear.
the things I've thought of so far in no particular order
1. Find some longer competition axles and but or trade for summit ones I have
2. Use more spacers and find some disturbingly long wheel studs!
3. But ANOTHER set of wheels with a different offset (current set all around
is -16 (i think)) to accomodate for the difference...
Any suggestions?????? Any help?????
any body have a set of rims in the +10mm range for offset?
