That looks awesome. I want to run a 15x12 with a 6 inch BS. How much is your rear narrowed per side?

Just an FYI for the folks interested in this thread. I went 3.5" narrower, per side, with a 10" Weld Magnum rims with 5" of BS and 325's perfect with cut-outs for the Wolf mini-tubs. It clears all the way around, and I don't have to cut or roll the wheel well lip. I will have to use off-set LCA spacers but everything else is fine. I'm using all BMR stuff with the exception of the Wolf upper springs adjuster kit. I'd post some pics, but it kicks them out for being over the size limit and I don't know how to reduce them.

Wolf Racing makes a "mini tube" kit... http://www.wolferacecraft.com/detail.aspx?ID=824 You have to cut out your inner wheel well to install them. It's not difficult, even for a newbie, but it will take some time. The hardest part is just starting. But once you start cutting it's no problem to finish.

Maybe its cause its really late, and theres too many #'s flaoting around my head, but I am getting my 9" narrowed 3" each side this weekend, and got a deal on some 325/50/15's I should pick up tomorrow. Now I just need to pick/order a wheel.

I was planning on going with the billet specialties 15X10 with 5.5" backspacing with stock brakes. Will these work with the stock brakes, I'm guessing they need to be ground down? Also is that backspacing correct or am I off a 1/2"? I would rather not run a spacer as I question their safety. I'd like to end up like these guys just going nuts with the BFH mod and not have to roll my lips.

On mine if I hade 5.5 inches of BS my wheel would hit the LCA mount on the rear, and the tire woudl hit the LCA itself.

I have 5 inches of BS.

325's all tucked in with Wolf mini tubs, stock frame locations and no triming of the F/W lip. Offset LCA bushings are required.

Here's the offset LCA bushings that I made. The top bushing is what came with my BMR LCA's and the bottom bushing is the one I made for extra clearence... Works perfect!
