I'm doing one of my Darts low-buck and Slant 6

I've read up on the 8.8" swap and talked to the local rear-end shop about trimming/etc.

Need to get some rolling stock for when it's under the car.

Anybody running an 8.8" rear end got max sizes/backspace recommendations for stock wheelwells for an early A body? (64 Dart)

I'd like to stay with 14" or 15" wheels.

Thanks!
 
I don't know about the width on the ford rear, I assume you could trim it to stock width - but I am runnig 12 x 15 wheels with 6" backspace and a set of 29 x 15.50 x15 M/T on my cuda and still have 3" between my sidewall and my frame rail
