    Depends if its fenderless or not really, Fendered do best with a 55-56" rear as it sits the wheels in the fenders better and allows lowering, fenderless can go a little wider but not too much as it will look silly.

    Mustang II 8" is a good one at 56" but is 4 stud so needs restudding. I'm in the process of jigging up for restudding so if you need one done let me know.

    Quite a few Fords came with 57" axles but to be honest the chance of getting one these days is getting slimmer.

    There is a list of Ford 8" & 9" fitments in the Tech archives, I will have a look for it.
