B.S. question for narrowed rearend I'm going to have my Moser 12 bolt narrowed 2.5"-3" on each side depending on what the fab shop recommends. My Weld Magnums (15x10 5"b.s.) came in for the rear but I wish they had a bigger lip. Has any one run a 4" b.s. with these wheels since they don't seem to make them in 1/2" increments?
Thanks

Yeah I called them already and they said they don't make them in half inch increments. Just wanted to see if anyone else was running a 4 inch b.s. my car is minitubbed but I don't know if I would have problems with the tire rubbing else where.

For the most part people that I have seen on here that have narrowed their rears are usually 3" on each side and they run a 5" b.s. I just received my new rears with a 5" b.s. but it isn't as a big of a lip as I want. Can I order a 4" b.s. with the rearend narrowed 3" on each side or should I have it cut more than 3" on each side?
With my car, I narrowed the rear 3" per side, and run a 15x10 5"BS, it sits the tires in about .50-.75 " in farther than stock, so if you would run it on a 4" BS it would stick the tires out .25-.50 farther than stock
if you want more "lip" it will require less backspacing. you either need to narrow the rear MORE or live with a tire that sticks out (nasty).
if you want a 4" BS then you need 3.5-4" narrowed on each side IMO.
if you want a 4" BS then you need 3.5-4" narrowed on each side IMO.

i believe anything in the 3" area will require only an offset bushing on the LCA. more than that and i am not sure where you mount the lca. it will also take you out of stock suspension status AFAIK

I want a lip similar to this.

Now I know Wormie has to be running a b.s. way less than 5".
