I am going to be ordering a set of 17x9.5 and 17x11 BS Street Lites and would like to know what back spacing I need to order the car has stock width rear and front suspension. Lowered with BMR Springs. I would like the wheel tire to site close to flush with the the quarters and fenders. Car is a 99 T/A

Thanks

I ordered 17x11 for the rear. I'm narrowed 3 inches per side, and my backspace is 5.25.......so I'm assuming that yours would be 8.25 not a 100% tho hope this helps

It all depends on where you want the wheel to sit, any mods to the inner wheel house or bump stops?

Give me a call... I have setup tons of the BS wheels for -f-body cars and can get you the info you need.

370i does this setup look good on your car?

I am looking to put 17x11s on the rear and have heard of your BS/narrowing combo working well. As you narrow the rear end less the BS increases; or as you narrow the rear the BS decreases proportionally.

A narrow of 2.5" would have a BS of 5.75". So if this theory holds your stock axle without narrowing would need 8.25" (no expert here).
As already said talking to MWC is the best bet as they do this work everyday.

Haven't received my narrowed rear end yet? But I did a lot of research and found that is the best LOOKING fit. I will post pics of my setup when it's all done. Good luck.
