My rear is narrowed 3in per side, and my wheels are 10in wide with 5in BS. This should pull the wheels in .5 per side more than stock. They fit great on my car. 5.375 BS would be too much on my car as it is on yours. Who recomended that BS?

i really wanted 4 bs but they dont make it in that wheel style. it actually fits great the wheel lip its self is way under the inside of the fender lip. no buddy suggested it. i used a bs measuring tool from summit racing. im an odd measurement of narrowed eash side. its close to 4 inches. just barely shy really. i shortened the long side of an explorer 8.8 made it same as short side. 3.5 / 4 inch bs is the mininum that would clear my suspension.... its all stock mounting points on everything. offset lcas. it looks good.. i think. the tires tuck inside the lip easy. its on a side hill in the pic in my yard, looks better on a flat.

Mine is chopped 2" on both sides, so I went down to a 5.5" Back Space 15x10. For you, I'd go with a 4.5" Back Space wheel as others have said. Are you mini tubbed?

mine is 3" on each side. 15x10 w/ 4.75" bs. I run a 1/4" wheel spacer and narrowed lca brackets on the rear with a lca spacer on the chassis side. tires clear but the tires are 26". I'm thinking 28's should fit just fine with the minitub and will be able to ditch the wheel spacer.

I am planning on 5 inches per side, and will be running a 15x12 wheel with a 5 inch backspace.

Should pull the rim in about 1/2 an inch (outer lip) from stock to put the tire inside the wheel well. LCA bracket will be narrowed, and the offset control arms will be put right against the inner mounts on the frame. rears, will be narrowed to the width of the rod ends, to get them out of the way.

And yes, there will be alot of cutting to do this. Minitub, may not be enough. 29.5x10.5 hoosier tire (part # 18192) will be used on the car. They measure about 30 in. tall, fwiw.

rims are 15x10 4.5" BS..with 325/50/15 tire..as you can see bump stops need to be removed, and massage the inner wheel well, but thats just because of the tire size.
