I have narrowed 3" per side, and I am going to run 15x10 with a 5" BS, it should sit the rims 1/2" in, more than stock

89 and newer disc brake rears. Same flange... in fact same PBR brakes as 93-97 rears. 88 and older version did use a different brake set up and the flange is different. One even better for you if you can find a 9 bolt Austrailian rear they are stronger than the 10 bolt and use bolt in axles.
