If you look a various CSX 3xxx cars there seems to have been different offsets to the sunbursts.
When I was at the Boulder museum they had a street car with rear Sunbursts that completely filled the rear wells very much like the Halibrands, but in looking at various pics and the green Canapa car, for example, the rears are the same as the fronts and end up looking a little "puny" in the rear wheel wells. Maybe one reason that a lot of people swapped them out back in the day.

Ofdset/widths on Sunbursts are the same, keep in mind that there are effectively THREE different rear fender styles so a Sunburst on an S/C would look lost. The "narrow hip" cars look "right" with the 'Burst, a wide hipper or comp car-S/C looks "goofy".
