You can get a custom ford 9" that width. I just ordered one 2" wider than factory

Yes I have one. 58" . Set up for a Gbody . It's for sale for $250.00 with 28 spline axles. Don't you mean 2" wider each side? My original 7.5 measures 52.5 from the backside of the brake drums. I don't want to use a deep backspaced wheel , they look more like hubcaps than wheels.

I went one inch on each side as I had a little tire/wheel clearance with the wide ralley wheels and sixty series tires. Just a subtle change. Looking forward to install. Also have the rear stabilizer bar ready to go in

Greg, please post some pics upon install. I'm thinking about swapping to a 9" (99% sure at this point to handle the power of the boosted LS). My new wheels are 4.5" BS and with a 255/45/17 they are going to be real close to the frame and might possibly rub. Adding an inch to each side will get me plenty of clearance, especially if I get wider wheels in the future.
Nobody ever complained about an added inch :sneaky: lol!!!!

I will Scott. I am pretty excited and as the days are longer I plan on doing some other things also.
