67 Barracuda project... narrowing 8 3/4 rearend

Good point, it would be even more pricey if had to redo the rear because of failure. Thank you for your insight. What is your opinion on narrowing? I have right at an inch till tire contact with leaf springs (QA1 suspension will replace the leafs which should give me a little more room) will I be able to get enough tire under the car without narrowing? tank, shocks, and my 3" exhaust are taking up a lot of real estate!
