Yeah, it is probably a good idea to be a little cautions if you have a lot of ponies under the hood. I still believe that this oversize/tube solution will work for a moderate streeter (but please don´t sue me if it don´t work).

As always it is important to know what you are doing...
I came to think of a funny (dangerous?
![:s016:](images/smilies/armata_PDT_06.gif)
) story. A friend of mine did choose to use a 8 3/4 Chrysler rear-axle in his ´66 Nova. (Good choise, eh?
![:nod:](images/smilies/nod.gif)
) He decided to shorten the rear-axle so that 12" rims would fit in. The thing was that he didn´t shorten the axle enough causing the rubber to slightly scratch against the rear fenders. Now what to? He used Centerlines and since they are quite thick (or very thick? I don´t remember exactly) in the area between the bolt washer and the dumbrake/discbrake suface, he decided to turn this area on the Centerlines and and making the area thinner. Well, it is nothing that I would recommend but it worked out well for him.
