When I assembled the xj6 rear I exchanged the half shafts and control arms with ERA. So it is the standard rear with inboard brakes that is used on ERAS. I was going to use an xke rear with ERA cage which is what was used on all early ERAs but opted for xj6 because of strength of stub axles. The first ERAs even used the xke cage. The tires are 245 70 series.Peter's advice. We jumped up and down with 2people in trunk with Spax nuts backed off to make sure of clearance. Close but clears. Ron did all body work with wheels and tires mounted to make sure of body clearance. The present ride ht. is set high for ease in sliding jack under during build.
