FFboy, thanks for the link. your car sits nice inthe rear. any completed pics? looks like no motor in there.
DSG, the tire i am talking about is much wider at the sidewalls than your tire. so it could hit at the LCA. i think that is the issue i will have to deal with.
i was thinking of a 2.5" narrowed with a 6"bs wheel. that will tuck the wheel 1" more than stock. i fear its too close for a 13" wide tire!

325 pics 15x10 5 inch backspacing I narrowed it an extra inch this year to tuck them up inside the wheel well better. I'll post them later, waiting for some warmer weather to get it out of the trailer.

tonyss, so do you think if i tucked the wheel 1" in from stock it would cause issues (going back to my narrow 2.5" and 6" bs wheel)?
your 2.5" narrowed with 5" bs is equal to stock right? did you have clearance issues with the spring and lca. that is what i am most concerned with. i can always cut the body if needed. i cant change the position of the suspension

325/50 - 15's stock rear, 15 x 10" prostars 7.5" BS, a lil time with a hammer and a grinder. Also used adjustable PHR to center the rear a lil better. It's a pretty tight fit, but I have had no rubbing issues, these tires don't grow much.
Edit: I just reread what you were asking, and realized you probably already have a narrowed rear, so my post is probably useless....

My car is narrowed 3inches per side with Weld Alumastars.. I'm not sure on the backspacing, but it tucks a 28x10.5 with ease. I want to run the 325/50 MT's also, but I'm not certain that they will fit. I'm gonna get under the car this weekend and check it out.

Might have to go with offset lowers.

Wheel bs plus narrow'd width per side = total bs.
So he is 3 + 5 = 8 total inches of bs.
You are 2.5 + 6 = 8.5 total inches of bs...1/2 inch per side deeper in to the wheelwell than he is.
What'll really screw ya up is how accurate is the bs measurement and the axle measurement...did they measure from the outer hub,etc,etc.
