Narrow Rear-end Cost?
Guy's I have a 8.5" ford rear end in my 32 Ford with manual Disc Brakes. I have been playing with wheel offset to bring my wheels/tires in towards the car more but am scared I will run into brake caliper clearance with 5.25 inches of offset. I would like to bring the wheels in 2 inches on the passenger side and 2.5 on the drivers side since right now my drivers side is .5" wider than the passenger side.
Trying to get actual inner/backside wheel measurements from these wheel companies are like pulling teeth! I only need to know the measurement at about 2-3 inches inside the rear lip but they give you the narrowest point measurement closer to the center of the wheel which is too narrow to clear my caliper........
What would the cost be to have a shop do this? Would they be able to do it on the car or have to remove the whole rearend? I have a 4 link set up in the 32 on American Rails Frame.
Cost info and or other ideas I have not thought of are also appreciated.
Thanks,32 Ford

Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
