With an 48" rear end what bs should I get? I'm thinking that 5"bs should work fine with the 315 tires
...car was already started when I got it and the rearend, ladder bars and mini tubs all came with the car

I went with 15x12's with a 325 tire and it really seemed to stretch the side wall. even at 10 psi the side wall was real stiff. wish i would have went 15x10.
now i have hoisier 15x12x29 slicks and they fit nice. but i could not find a dr that fit well on this wide of rim.

hmmmmm
Jegs specs a M/T 325/50r15 drag radial @ a section width of 13.1" on a 10" wide rim. If you mounted this same tire on a 12" rim what would the new section width be?
Also would there be any negative side effects on traction by changing the shape or curve of the side wall as compared to the 10" rim? BTW this would be on a 3400# low 9 / high 8 second street car.
