Red Headed Stepchild-75 Swinger LSX Swap

Well I got the new bolt on spring perches in the mail today. Also got the car spun around in the garage and finally have the rear of the car up in the air. Pull off the 15x9 wheels with 245/60/15 bfg tires and 4.5" back space. So with that in mind I'm going to look for a set of 15x8 with a 5.5" backspace to help get the wheels tucked in there properly with the new, longer 8.8 rear end. So now I get to pull this turd 7 1/4. Hopefully get to the pulling the rear end in tomorrrow.

Sounds like the wheel back space change should work well according to my math.

It should move the tire 1/2" outward with the new axle and 5.5 backspace wheels.

Any pics of the 245/60/15s on the car? That's the same size we're looking at running, or a 255/60/15. Along with offsetting the springs inboard.

Thanks. Enjoying following the build. Great work. Eric.
