Default Backspacing on Narrowed Rear

Im geting a narrowed rearend, I was going to go with Bogarts but now I might change my mine..like always..but

What is the typical backspacing or whatever for a 2 1/2in each side narrowed rearend.

Iv been looking at a few of the newer centerlines in a 17/15 combo and then oneday get some more 17s for the rear and have them widened..

Or do the centerlines not fit the breaks like everything esle..

Stock backspacing is 7.5 if you take 2'' off your new backspacing will need to be 5.5


What ever you take off the rear end, take off the same amount from the stock backspacing and your wheels will still sit in the same location.

Centerlines will not clear front brakes. Nothing fits anything it seems like. I have c5 front brakes and want to do a narrowed rear but cant find a 17/15 combo so I can switch 15" stickies to 17" street tires.
