Default 325/50/15 fitment

I'm gonna be putting on a pair of 325/50/15 mounted on some bogarts and I have a Moser 9" that is not shortened. Should I have the Bogarts ordered at a different offset to help the tires fit? I am aware of some of the working of the wheel well to fit them but didn't know if I ordered the 7.5" BS there would be serious issues? By serious I mean having to put in minitiubs or something drastic. I have searched and seen quite a few of these tires but can never get all the details as like I said my rear is stock width. Any info would be great, Thanks!

I used a stock length 12 bolt with the standard Bogart BS with 325's .....works great...just have to center the rear with adj panhard bar and lca's....then hammer a few places where it rubs...then some black paint and it looks stock...took about 2 hours to find the high spots working slow...bottom left corner (looking into the wheelwell) is the worst spot.

That's good to know as I didn't want to spend the money on a set up that wasn't gonna work. I never thought of ordering the rear narrowed when I ordered it.

Thanks!

I had them on my car with a stock width rear end. only thing i did was the normal pounding on the front of the wheelwell to fit them a bt better. I also have adjustable LCA's to help center it in the wheelwell. They are rod end LCA's that are spaced to the inside
