what would the amount of narrowing if i used a 1.5" bs wheel? i figure if you get a set of prostars or something similar on a stock rearend theyre 7.5" bs so with a 1.5"bs you could narrow like 5-6" each side?

weight reduction and i thought about it and it probably wouldnt anyway because i forgot theres only so much room between the end of the axles and the frame rails.
