Yeah but not really so much on the outer most part. How about the inside's........won't that put the inside of the tire closer to the inner wheel well. There are more rub marks on the inner part of the tire than the outer most part of the tire.
Look at the pics again look at the tire closely you can see the rub marks on the inside. I have no idea where it's rubbin but it is. Wierd thing is nothing is near it on the inside. Only thing i can think of is when i do a burnout the tire blows up big like a balloon. I don't know

there's a mile of space on the insides from my tire to the wheel well. I have no idea what it can be rubbing up against. My car sits up higher in the back. I don't know. But i need that problem to go away. Last thing i want happen is my tire to blow out as I'm doing over 100mph down the track

8" probly would handle the HP dependin on suspension.
what may be rubbin on yours is the forward lower section of the wheelwell. thats the closest place on mine. i only have about 2 inches maybe a lil less with stock tire n wheels. could make a lot more room in there with a body saw and maybe a lil weldin

New axles from Curries are cheap, like $300-400 out the door for 31 spline.

Well I made it over to where the car sits. I crawled under there with a tape measure and I came up with 52.5 same as you guys. But I feel it wasn't an accurate measurement due to the fact that the tape was pushed out because of the third memeber.
My batteries were dead in my camera so I could take any pics. I wanted too. but.....
