You can run a max of 10". You will have to shorten your spring about 1/2" per side if you go that wide and you may have to eliminate your rear sway bar if you got that wide. You can always run a 9" or 9.5" rim and not have to do cut the spring or loose the sway bar.

Van Steel, I have a set of your offset arms. Right now I'm waiting on a set of custom flares being built for my 81. I have a TRW rear spring that I could use and I'm planning on using 17"-18" wheels 11" or 12" wide. Do you know of any problems I might encounter with this setup? Thanks.......

Thanks for the info, 9.5 wheel sounds good to me, I have not started this project just yet but will soon. I bought the car mostly dissasembled, brought the body and frame home on a trailer and all the pieces in boxes stacked in the back of the pickup. So I might as well as go ahead, take the body off the frame and do the chassis right.
What is the sale price for offset assemblies, (By assemblies are we refering to bushings, bearings shafts all included)? Is the offset 2"?
