Default 1969 Camaro rearend width?
What is the stock width on 69 camaro? Also with running a DSE mini-tub how much narrower can you go and still get an avalible backspacing?


Thanks
Dustin

60 inch is stock width.
55 to 55.5 or so is the common width for use with a 12 inch wheel and 6 inch backspacing.

Call DSE. They were very helpful.

Yup, Jake is correct. We sell and install lots of Mosers for mini tub, 55" flange to flange (including rotors / drums) and 6.2" backspace and you have a tick of wiggle room to shim if you need to.

Would these same dimensions apply to a 1967? I'm planning on DSE minitubs but with a 17x11 rear width.
Thanks

With a 11" wheel I would do a 5 3/4" Backspace with a 55" rear.
