9" narrowed or not
9" narrowed or not well tax retrun time is just around the corner and its time to get a rearend for my build so i need to start planing i am going to run a 9" just not sure which one probably mwc or moser. should i get a narrowed rear or not i would like to run a deep dish wheel i am thinking about going with the weld s71 rt-s wheels in 15x11.25 with a 4.5BS with a 325/50/15 mt et drag raidal how narrow would i have to go to fit that combo if possible i dont want to run a offset control arm any suggestions would help
Not sure on that wheel size, but if you shorten each side at -3 inches per side, you can run a 15x10 4.5BS wheel. I had that size wheel with 325/50/15 MT DRs and it was a perfect flush fitment.

Is there any benefit to running a rear that is narrowed 3" on both ends and rims with 4.5" BS instead of stock width with 7.5" BS?
Is there a better selection of rims available with 4.5" BS?

It's mostly for cosmetics (deeper dish, better wheel selection) but as a side benefit it reduces unsprung and rotational weight a little bit by losing 6" of axle shaft and housing tube.
Nope, with the correct wheel backspacing the wheels will be in the same location as they would be with a standard length rear end. Bob

Taking 3" off the axle will pull the tire in 3" as well. This is why you reduce your b.s. by 3" to keep it centered. I oredered my MWC yesterday narrowed 3"/side and will be going with the 15x10 4.5" bs to put my 275 /60 mt radial in the exact same spot it sits now. You shouldn't have a problem fitting up to the 295/55 28" tire without any use of the BFH but if you go with the 325 tire, you will have to do some beating and perhaps cutting of the bumpstops as most do for it to fit. If you want the deep dish look without the added rotational weight and you can get by with a narrower tire such as the 275, then i would suggest it. Those 325's are HEAVY!!
Good luck!

If you were stuck on running the rim that you mentioned your rear would need to be 56.2" overall length (thats 4.25" per side) and you would most likely run into problems with control arm clearance.
if you were to narrow 4" a side what needs to be modified ..Pan hard mount , narrow the control arm mounts ? I think i am gonna go to wishbone and delete the PH anyways ...
Thanks in advance Dave
