Narrowed 9 inch

Same here... 9in cut down 3in per side with 15x10 Alumastars with a 5in back spacing. My 28x10.5s only rub at high 1/4 mile speeds when the slick is swelling. I currently have the BMR Extreme Duty LCA's and they are really fat in diameter which is the reason for the tire rubbing. Once I switch to offset control arms I'm gonna go to 325/50s.

Yeah everything will bolt up , you will have to make some mods to the E brake cable brackets , and get some offset lca's to run the 325/50, but thats about it !
Seems like a 2" narrow is good for guys who want a deep dish, but without the offset LCAs and the extensive cutting and banging...
I would like to go 3", but may go 2" to save some time and money...and cutting blades lol. Subscribing, great thread!

I will have 3" per side with a Weld Alumistar on a 5" BS. With a little massaging of the wheel well (no Mini tub) I can fit a 29.5 x 10.50. I will have pics up this week. The worst places are the bump stop area and the front of the wheel well for a big tire. I should have pics at the end of the week.
We also have the rear ends on sale.

Exactly, but my wheels are 4.75 offset, and fit with minimal work, trim the bumpstops off and some minor fender massaging and your good to go, I still get a little rubbing when I turn, sharply, but nothing goin down the track or cruising ! Another thing that need some work is the emergency brake line bracket will need some fitment work, I got rid of my E brake so it didnt matter.
That's my set up as well. With reg. offset and non adj BMR lower control arms. I went with the M&H drag radial. The section width is 12.3 on the M&H compaired to the 13.0 section width of the MT drag radial. The tire helped a lot on the inner fender. I didn't have to do any hammering, but still removed the bumpstop and e-brake.

325/50/15
The little bit I got to drive on them last year I liked how they performed on the street, but I never made it to the track.
I seems like the sidewall is softer and will flex more than the MT's did.

I narrowed mine 3 inches per side, 325/50's 5 inch BS wheel and a full minitub.
I had to have offset LCA's, I also had my panhard rod mount on the rear moved over and shortened to panhard rod. Be careful of how you play with BS, my LCA bolt is VERY close to the lip of my rim.

Order the rims and tires first, then mock it up and measure between the rims and order the rear end that width, that way it will fit perfect.

You should consider the new Moser M9 rear, which comes with their new killer torque arm and tranny crossmember combination. My Camaro was the first car to get this new combo, and it helped us to cut some great 60ft times immediately. Bob

It has the LCA on the rear end narrowed for more clearance between the LCA bracket and rim/tire.
this rearend was narrowed 4 inches and had a narrowed and relocated lca bracket to keep the rear of the lca still in the center. 4 holes for adjustment and plenty of clearance at the tire. this option available at no extra charge on my fabricated housing packages.
That looks nice, anymore photos of that car, thats what I was talking about the narrowed LCA bracket.
