Re: [AMC-List] Disc rear interchanges/Was/Re: speaking of carburetors

I meant that on the '82 Spirit, the wheel wells are shallower than the 
Eagle, so if my friend put an XJ axle in (which is 2" wider) with XJ rims 
(to tuck the tires further in) in the "normal" Spirit axle position (axle on 
top of springs) the tires may still stick out past the wheel well openings 
and/or hit the fender lip or top. Eagles got around this issue with fender 
flares and the axle under the springs (which gave it 4" of lift too)
   BTW, Eagle rims are the same offset and width as 2wd XJ/MJ rims.

I'm not sure what this is the answer "A:" to...  I was just
stating what wheels fit on my Eagle in regard to bolt pattern
and offset although I didn't make that clear.  I'm not clear as
to how the position the leaf springs (over or under the axle)
would affect the position of the wheels where flares would make
a difference.
