Default Narrowed Axle

I'm planning on getting a narrowed rear end in the next 6 to 8 weeks I haven't decided on which rear end yet. But I know I would like it narrowed 3" on each side. I want to run 325/50/15 M/T Drag Radials on 15x10 rims with 4.5" bs. Will the tire and wheel combo fit in the stock well with a bit of hammering or do I need to think about minitubs?

it will work... that's the same combo I ran on my own car for a while. give us a call so we can discuss your options. we have the best deal on any rearend, and can get you a good deal on the wheel and tire package as well. one stop shop...

Same combo I run, it's a tight fit if you're lowered at all but it works.

^ That looks really good.

What is OEM width as a number in inches? It is always referenced as narrowed 3'' / side, etc...
