Default Narrowed rear end pics please!

Hey guys im going to order a rear monday, my last option is if I should narrow it or not... and if so how much, ofcourse I love the look of the big lip!!! I would like to see some pics of your rear end narrowed, and how much it was narrowed without any mini tub or modifications.... Also the backspacing you ran on your wheels....

Thanks.... Im thinking like 2.5' to 3" each side.... If I do this I will have a fbody specific set of Bogart RT's up for sale... lmk if interested!!!

looks killer!!! so you didnt have to change anything but the wheel backspace correct! If I were to go 3" per side Im guessing I would need a 6.25" backspacing on my wheel, correct?

Stock back spacing is 7.5". If you narrowed your rear 3" on each side you would need 4.5" back spacing to maintain a stock look.

Mini-tub or just BFH? Car looks sick by the way.
