8.8 swap

I am picking up and 8.8 (3.73 lsd) tomorrow and trying to decide whether or not to cut it down. I am building a 72 dart with a pro touring vibe. I plan on running late model mustang 17x9s in the rear. So I have 2 questions for those of you in the know.
1. If I run the stock length axle will it work with my wheel combo, and fit the wheel well? ( also installing dr. Diff offset shackles)

2. Will the offset of the pinion cause any issues in stock length?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Many run that exact combination and similar (B body rear in a Dart). The mopar 8 3/4 is also offset like the 8.8, the 8 3/4 is just not offset as much. Saying that, there are no issues running it in stock or cut length. Do you have BBP now? If so, I would put the wheels on and see where you are at.
