Do a search here on the Bolt, that topic has been bouncing around forever. You will find a link to a list of sizes in there that should be very helpful.
BTW the old Camaro and Firebird rears are 62", some with disc brakes.
Good Luck.

I am looking for a new rear as well. I would like to find a positraction unit and probably something that is 62 inches wide. | | |
