This is an interesting technical question that was posted [elsewhere on the Forum](https://59plymouth.net/t/new-member-sport-fury-hardtop/3196/1), so I’m posting it again here. > Hi Ralph. When you swapped in the \> _(B Body)_ \> 8 3/4 rear, did you need to change wheels/tires for clearance or was there no issue? > > Pete ---

**The axle change should be okay, the self energizing rear brakes will be needed with the small front disc brake system. The B body rear axle, years 62-70 is only about two inches narrower track. The stock tires and wheels will work fine. Engineering the E-brake cable system will be fun. Rick** ---

Thanks Rick. My car came with odd size rims (5,5,5.5,6). Wanted to purchase 14x6’s all the way around, and clean up the one existing 14x6 as a spare. Swapping to the 8 3/4 and just wanted to make sure.
