Default Rear end width?

I will likely be getting a 9" rear soon, I was just going to go stock width and not give it any consideration, but I figured that I should at least think about the options.

What are the pros/cons of changing the width?

I have firehawk rims that I really like on 275 tires, they seem to work well with the power level I have ~550rwhp. I did think of potentially widening them at some point if I go with some boost so i can get a bit more tire but I never seriously considered it.

Any recommendations?

Is there only one option that's a direct fit or am I wrong?

If I had to do it over again I'd get mine narrowed at least 1.5" per side. I just like the look of a deeper offset wheel more than the 7.5" offset you have to run on a stock with rear with 10" wheels.
