88 camaro, rear end came out of a 97 formula. Factory 88 springs.
Just mocked up the rear wheels. The driver side is closer to the wheel well than the passenger and looks like it’s gotta have spacers. Anyone else have this issue?
Driver side:
adjustable panhard rod will fix the out of center rear, and with 1/4" slip on spacer youll be fine unless you run really wide tires like a 315 on a 10" wheel. I would reccomend a 285/35/19 which you can find for under 200ea. from many major brands.
I used a hub centric 5/8 spacer and beat the hell out the wells to clear 295/305 type tires but the tires are also tall at 27-27.4”
a 275/285 tire thats short sidewall may clear better

Do people usually need adjustable Panhard with just a 4th gen rear swap?
It doesn't matter if your car is lowered or not, production tolerances in the 80's allowed many of the rear ends to be offset one side or the other. An adjustable panhard bar allows you to bring that rear end into perfect center so you equalize the amount of room you have on the inside (and outside). If you corner hard, the tire will flex and may still rub if you're close, so that's when you may need a bit of a spacer.
