Narrowed rear end info...
Ok I’m swapping to an 8.8 rear from a 98 explorer and running moser axles with 31 splines. I’m taking 2-15/16” off the long tube and running equal length axles and will center the pumpkin. My question is how wide of a wheel are y’all getting with factory trailing arms and frames? I’m thinking about a 11-12” wheel but unsure if they will fit with trailin arms. Only going with a 17” wheel as of now.

Re: Narrowed rear end info...
I do know that a 12" wheel will fit, but I believe you can go up to a 14" wide wheel. Of course the tire width needs to be considered as well.

Re: Narrowed rear end info...
Here is an old pic of my rear with 16x12 wheels and 31x16.5 tires. A 14" wide wheel would not be a problem with attention to backspacing.

Re: Narrowed rear end info...
I set up the housing to be 51" wide from housing end to housing end.

Re: Narrowed rear end info...
I fit a 15x12 on a stock width 12 bolt without an issue. I did decide to go down to an 11" wide wheel on my next set of wheels after changing my setup around.
