The spring perches are 36in center to center
Flange to flange 56.5, Which I think may be a bit narrowed, but that gives your a bit more wheel options if it is
The hump is centered which means the pinion is about 2in to the right (which doesnt really effect anything) circle track guys do this so they can lower the upper mounts even although these arent lowered.

Is that 56.5" axle flange to flange, or housing flange to flange? Stock is 58" for the axle flanges and 52.125" for housing. If its narrowed the frame would need to be notched. It would actually limit wheel and tire use.
Housing flanges, I guess I was thinking the stock rear was wider than that.
So add some allstar cut to fit axles with the 2.5 offset and you're at 61.5 so with the same wheels they will be 1.75 further out on each side.
The allstar axles come with the bearing pre-installed, there is an 1/8 spacer under the bearing that when taken out will make the brake offset 2-3/8th So you could take those out and only be 1.5 wider on each side.
My thinking with a narrow rear end having more wheel choice.
You can always space out to a high back space wheel on a narrow rear,
You cant take take material away from a rear end to fit low back space wheels in the wheel well.

if it's centered then the axles will be different lengths.......most 9" in circle track use a 3 link set up and in circle track if we have shorter axles it'll be on the drivers side and the reason for that is when coming out of the corner the axles will twist with the torque and we want the inside wheel to put the power down first

I will have to do some measuring on the spring perches.
My spring perches are not 36. I dont think that rear end will fit. Thank you but i think i will have to pass.
I did measure center to center on the perches, by the way.
Around here most tracks let every class run floaters, so this stuff a bit out dated for the CT guys. The reason for centering the hump is to get the upper mounts as low as possible, to change instant centers, although these ones look to be about factory height.
Some people order them offset further to the right so the axles are equal length and they only have to carry one spare. It makes the left upper look like its hanging way out.
Most tracks around here require "factory four link" style mounts. Once they get into the 3 link classes they are using clamp on brackets. for the shocks, springs and lowers.
