Default Narrowed 9" or 12bolt question

Hey guys I am trying to figure out a rearend I am going ether 12bolt with a spool 33 spline axles 4.56 gear or a 9" with a spool and 35 spline axles with 4.56 gears but I want it narrowed 2.5" per side and I was thinking then I could use a 15X10 wheel with 5" of backspacing but I talked with Billingsley and he didn't think that would work? I have read and noticed people have done this am I just missing something?? He said to go 3" per side with a 4" backspacing on a 15X10 wheel?

So any input would help here of what size wheel and backspacing I would need to use with 2.5" of backspacing? Also a place to buy the rearend from that will build it.. I want to thank you in advance for the help.

It's where my bogarts came from. I kind of wish I had gone thru Steve to get my 12 bolt only because I could have gotten a strange that way rahter then the moser that I went with, only because of teh design of the TQ arm bolts. I haven't had a problem with mine getting loose, but so many people have, that I check mine on a normal basis because of it. The thru the housing design, that's a better way IMO.
