Keep in mind you'll also need a narrowed lower control arm too. Heidt's also makes them, maybe others. Depending on what you've got for brake setup you may also be able to pick up another 3/4" by changing brake hub/rotors. Here's what ECI offers; http://www.ecihotrodbrakes.com/musta...nversions.html
When I built my '36 roadster I started with a specific wheel in mind. If you look at the picture below it will give you an idea. The front wheel is a 6 inch wide (which with the flanges makes the wheel closer to 7"), and has a 2 5/8 backspace (meaning a real 4+" to the front). I used both the Heidt's 5/8 narrower arms and the ECI hub/rotor kit to keep the tire properly spaced under the fender. I literally built the car around the wheel specs.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
