Default How much to narrow a rear end? and what are the pros?

how much is it to have a rear end narrowed? do u have to have it done before ordering it? or after do u have to take it somewhere?

and what are the pros to having a narrowed rear end? besides looking sick with a big deep dish rim

will the rims fit better with stock brakes? will the tires fit better? cause i want holeshots, and im pretty sure they would look better with a narrowed rear end and alittle more lip on the rim

also are there certain rearends that are harder/more expensive to narrow then others?

A Moser rear can be had narrowed at the time of purchase for no extra charge. A lot of people will go with it being one inch narrower per side. Some will go three inches, it all depends on your wheel/tire combination. Bob

I have a Strange 12 bolt narrowed 2.5 inches each side. I am running a Pro Star XP 15x10 with 5.5 BS. I really love the way it looks with a 275 tire.
Fitting the 5.5 BS without a spacer is PITA but its going to look so sweet.
