Wheels are 3.5" offset (had to change to this from a 4.5" offset because the chassis guy cut the rear) and I have either a 5/16" spacer or a 7/32" spacer, I don't remember which, I'll have to check.
I did move the axle back a hair to open up some clearance in the front of the wheel well. I'll get an accurate wheelbase measurement for you next week.

Thank You. I am working on a fairly special 63 Lemans build with another guy. This information will be helpful.
Thanks,
Chris
