Narrowing rear housing?

[Bullitt512]

Anyone know where I can get my 2008 rear housing narrowed (2 to 3 inches) to accept deep dish wheels. I don't want to tub, but would love the pro look...

I know a place in long island that does it, they did a fellow members car.

The only concern I would have is that after narrowing the axle tubes, the wider wheels will rub on the wheel well. I know of 1 person who put 12" wide wheels on his car, but had to grind off the protrusion perch in the well and also the shock boot.

I would check all clearances before narrowing the rear. There are a bunch of 10" wide wheels that will fit without any modifications.

Whatever you take off the housing you have to add in backspace to your wheels, if you keep the same width wheel of course. Try Crazy Don's Chassis Works on LI.
Remember you have to buy axles as well. It usually ends up being at least a $1,000 bill for a complete narrow job.
