The car is a 68…I do not remember what the width was….I can look for the build sheet if you need to know…it was very short compared to the normal ordered size…

No..with the fender flares I got those tires to fit….I really wanted the deep rim look in the rear which is why I went with a narrower then normal rear and the least backspacing I could get without custom rims. The tires are 15" wide and the rims 12". MT SR tires.

Auto fab has Finally shipped my 4 link .. Took 6 weeks ,, In that time I could have toured the earth , trained for a space flight or had this project done.

I hope it shows up complete and not missing parts or have any bad welds ..
