Narrowed rear and wheel offset.
Narrowed rear and wheel offset. I'm looking at doing my rims and rear end at the same time.
I'm thinking of narrowing my rear 3" per side and running the Jegs SportStar/StreetStar 15x10" with 4.5" backspacing. That should equal me out to the normal 7.5 back spacing need.
A normal 15x8 needs 5.5" backspacing on the front. Jegs have 15x7's with 4.75" backspacing and 15x4 with 1.75" backspacing. My main concern is the fronts either size I pic I'm .25" off on the needed backspacing. My question is will this setup work and will the .25" be enough to mess me up.
Thanks

I didn't think about using a spacer up front. Just wanting to get an idea if I can do this since its so hard to get Weld wheels now and plus the Jegs/Summit knock offs are so much cheaper.
That sounds about right. The normal setup I have seen is narrowed 3" on each side and running a 5" bs. My Magnum drags are a 4" bs and I'm probably gonna narrow the rear 4-4.5" on each side to have the wheel tuck in more but my car is minitubbed.
I narrowed 3" per side and went with 5.5" of BS ProStars.... wich are really closer to 5 1/4...... my Alumastars are 5" BS.. there closer to 5 1/2.... Weld rounds up or down... i hate it....
