am finely ready to order me rearend and rims
I read a lot here on Cuda-challenger, but I like some feedback on my choice. Just to be 100% sure this is the right decision
And I haven’t missed anything!
Your feedback I appreciated, and I am not home to measure the car (working in Miami)!
My car is a 1970 Barracuda with power steering and 1.12 torsion bars.:
I will order the Strange Dana 60 with the Drum face to Drum face (59 ½ = B-body, that should be 1 ¼” shorter than an E-Body) the Leaf spring mounts will be mounted as a B-body center center 44” that means each side is moved in 1” compared to E-body (I will use 1” offset sharkels and hangers)
I like to Buy the Coy’s C-5
Front 18X8 BS 4,5 with 245/40/18 (25,7 tall)
For the front, I can get 18X7, but there is the BS only 4 ¼ , so I hope 18X8 will fit with no rubbing!
Rear 18X9,5 BS 5 With 275/40/18 (26,7 tall)
I like to run 295/40/18 (27,3 tall) that also gets me closer to 28”.
What do your guys recommend???, Can I run the 295/40/18 with no rubbing, (How mush space will I have on each side of the 295 tier
?)
It is ok if I have to use a small spacer!. I just don’t want any rubbing. I bought the Firmfeel H.D leaf springs, that should lower the car 1” they say, hope that is no a problem (or else I will fabricate some hangers and sharkels to get it back to stock hight!). I can also get the 18X9,5 with BS of 5,5”, will that be better? but with the shortend rearend I chose the 5” BS .
Thanks for you feedback. it helps me decide what to buy
