I have a 12 bolt narrowed 3" on each side I have prostars my rims are 15x10's the offset is 4.5 bs so you would need a 5.5 bs. If you dont want drag rims then have fun spending a ton of money on forged rims that they have to customly make (iforged,forgeline, etc.) thats the only thing that sucks about having a narrowed rear.Here some pics for you

I realy want to go with a drag rim actualy but what width do I need to safely run a 325? since the tire is 12.8 inches do I need a 12 inch wide rim or will they be safe on a 10? should I look for a 12 or a 11? I am a noobwhen it comes to tires / rims so any / all advise would be great.
