Default Gettig ready to order a rear.. NEED HELP

Im looking to run a set of 275 50 15 without a whole lot of problems but i kinda want them to tuck under without rubbing.. I do not want to do a mini tub. I LOVE the look of Bowmans Camaro the way his car sat was awsome.. How much should i have the rear shortend on each side.. and What BS would you run ?

I believe a 7" bs on stock rear will do it.

assuming you want a 15x10 5" bs, giving you 5" lip and you can lower the car. i would narrow no more than 2.5" on each side. you can do more but you are going to run into issues with cutting the bump stop area out (no biggie IMO) or not being able to run a tire wider than 10" wide.

there are a LOT of variables.

No, they will stick out an extra .5". Mine is 3" per side on a 5" bs but we did do work in the wheel wells. the 29.5 x 10.5 on a 10" rim tuck nice.
