Default 325/50/15 fitment

I'm gonna be putting on a pair of 325/50/15 mounted on some bogarts and I have a Moser 9" that is not shortened. Should I have the Bogarts ordered at a different offset to help the tires fit? I am aware of some of the working of the wheel well to fit them but didn't know if I ordered the 7.5" BS there would be serious issues? By serious I mean having to put in minitiubs or something drastic. I have searched and seen quite a few of these tires but can never get all the details as like I said my rear is stock width. Any info would be great, Thanks!

I used a stock length 12 bolt with the standard Bogart BS with 325's .....works great...just have to center the rear with adj panhard bar and lca's....then hammer a few places where it rubs...then some black paint and it looks stock...took about 2 hours to find the high spots working slow...bottom left corner (looking into the wheelwell) is the worst spot.

That's good to know as I didn't want to spend the money on a set up that wasn't gonna work. I never thought of ordering the rear narrowed when I ordered it.

Thanks!

I had them on my car with a stock width rear end. only thing i did was the normal pounding on the front of the wheelwell to fit them a bt better. I also have adjustable LCA's to help center it in the wheelwell. They are rod end LCA's that are spaced to the inside

I'll have to look into some other lca's then. I have a set of Hotchkis ones from 01 yet.
