Don't you just subtract? Like if the stock BS is 7.5" or 7.75" and your rear end is narrowed 2.5 inches you would order your wheel in 5" or 5.25" backspace?

That's what I figured but Eric from Midwest chassis suggest that I run a 5.25 backspace, just wondering if that's what everyone else is running

Yeah they will sit just a bit more flush, amazing what that little .25 difference will make.
