    Hello all,
    Looking for your recommendations of what the ideal rear axle WMS to WMS width would be for a fully fendered '31 A Coupe with stock fenders, 16" x 4-1/2" Ford '48 p***enger wheels, 700 or 750 tires please.
    Unfortunately my car is in storage and I can't get to it for measuring etc ..... this photo is the similar look I'd like to achieve.
    Thanks in advance.

    This is Sedan inner fender ,
    This is why need the s-10 4x4 rear length
    I believe 56-1/2 over the
    53-1/2 54 , the narrower works I feel better Deeper front dish wheel
    & if want you can add
    1/4 to 1 inch spacer to move wheel tire flush to fender ,,, If to wide limited on
    Wheel then will be way to wide , hanging tires out like late 60's 70s IMG_3847.png
