Question getting 9 '' need pics

i'm ordering a 9'' at the end of the week and am having a hard time finding pics of cars with narrowed rears. can't decide how much to narrow. will be running drag radials and skinnies. also wondering if 4.56 would be better for 28'' tall tire. it's a 6 speed. thanks

Narrow 2 inches per side and run a 15x10 wheels with 5.5 BS if you aren't going to mini tub. You will probably find some pics by searching in the drag racing tech forum.

4.56 gears are pretty steep. How much rwhp and how high are you planning on running the rpm through the traps? Bob

since the 15x10 rims i'm looking at offer a 5'' backspacing will a 2.5 per side work with aftermarket lca's. wouldn't that put the tire in the same position or am i not adding it up right?
