I am running a 17X11 with 4.5 backspace. With my wheels and tires under the car, mine was 58 inches from back of wheel to back of wheel. That is how all the places I have dealt with narrowing a rearend work.
And when I say back of wheel to back of wheel I mean where it bolts to the axle.

Why narrow your rear & minitub? I'm running 15x10 prostars with a 275 60 15 radial (M/T, Goodyear, & as of today Hoosiers) and haven't had any rubbing issues. If you wanna go with a 325 without beating it up with a mini sledge wouldn't just a set of mini tubs work fine? I know he said he's running a 4" back spacing but we all know that 7" with a stock width rear end would work.

right I am 56" from back of the wheel to back of the wheel ...I have the wheels bolted to a set of axles that I turned down and have a piece 0f moly tubing holding them together ...so 56" flange to flange ...and stock is 64.75 flange to flange ...8.75 difference ..so i figure I need to go 4.5 a side or technically 4.375 a side ...the car is sitting over the widest portion of a 325 drag radial in the pic ...it will be a inch or so higher at true ride height ...and also will be running 275's...

30 in slick going on too, which makes the need a little greater to pull it in, so the wheel well doesn't need to be opened up, at least it shouldn't.
We will see, once I finally get it into the fab guru.
