Yep, sure do. You're effectively moving the centre inward or outward inside the rim. 10" with 5" backspace will give you 5" dish. Usually 1/2 and 1/2 like that with 5 at the front and 5 at the back is what most guys have on the rear of Fords. Seems to be a perfect fit.

So your saying with a 5" backspace I'll have a 2.5" dish?

Hi, I'm looking at getting some centreline retro wheels with 15x10 5" backspace rears, now I want to get deep dish on the rear. Getting deep dish how does that affect the backspace, do you get a lesser backspace for more dish?

Cheers

Ok so I've decided on my wheels finally I'll be running centreline retro wheels 15x10 rears with 5" backspace. But now I would like them to be deep dish what does that mean backspace wise, will going deep dish mean the backspace will change? The backspaces available are 3.5",4" and 5". Any help is good...

Cheers.

If I was to run a 7'' wide wheel on the front of my XW what backspacing should I be looking at to fill out the guards nicely?

Cheers

Apology accepted.

What have I missed lol????

???

Yea that's the plan. Definitely not going to do it myself will be get it done by someone.

That's all im waiting on is my wheels, then ill go from there. I was just after some info on where to go and who to talk to about it.

I got everything I need axles, housing, lsd ect ect. I really just need to make my mind on wheels and go from there. Any good places to go to in Brisbane or Gold Coast?

So looking at cutting around 50mm off each end yeah and leaving the spring perches as is ? I cut 75mm off each end of mine and the spring perches stayed in place and I can fit any array of wheel tyre combo under it know.

 

If your going to run any real HP thru it or race or skid it I'd recomend some Strange cut to length axles in your choosen spline count.Buy em a few inches too long then cut to length and winner winner. I'd suggest someone would want around $800 to shorten it.

 

Yea hoping to leave the spring perches as is. No plans of racing it. The motor is just a full rebuild 302w with your usual bolt on intake manifold, carby, cam, extractors so no horsepower at all and no plans for more.

Putting a later model borgy out of a xd into my xw, looking at running 9 to10 inch wide rears. The diff is a 28 spline lsd disc brake. Ill just be using the car as sunday driver. Might need it to get shorten the xw/xy length or a bit shorter. I don't need a 9inch car wont be a big hp car.

Hi all,

Just want to know what are some recommend diff places around Brisbane/ Gold Coast?

Looking at getting my diff shorten and want to speak to someone, who knows what they are on about.

Anybody tell me what a rough ballpark figure on what it would cost?

Cheers... 

Yep very aware of the width difference. Still making up my mind on wheels, so there might be a chance I'm going to get it shorten. I brought a diff out of a xd, disc brakes, lsd, 2.92 ratio but looking to swap out the 25 spline 2 pinion lsd for a 28 spline setup.

Cheers Paul very informative, pretty much answer all my question.

I'm putting a later model borg warner diff (out of a xd) in my XW. What model falcon xd or similar have 28 spline axles?

Cheers

The diff I got it's out of a Xd lsd 2.92 ratio. Would it be a 0578 housing? Should it say on the tag?

How do I know what diff housing is my borg Warner diff? I think there is b/w 0575 and b/w 0578?

All I want is to rebuild my 302w so it's nice and fresh and reliable so I can turn the key with no dramas but have a little bit more poke then standard. I was just looking at adding carb, intake, cam and lifters, a electric drizzy (to get rid of the points) and some extractors.

When buying heads like afd. What info do you need to choice the right heads,cam specs etc?

I'll have to look into it when I get to them.

The heads won't be overlooked. They will be rebuilt and ported and polished or whatever gets done to them.

Cheers mate I'll look into them.

Where would some of the better place in Brisbane or Gold Coast to get my engine block crack tested, cleaned etc etc?

Yea I'm pretty stuck on it being a very mild street cruiser.
