Little help with wheel bs and narrowed rear??
Im trying to figure what is the best fit for my new rearend/wheel combo.
Going with a narrowed 9" and a 17x11 any where from 4.5" to 5.5" bs. I currently have 17x11 zr1's with what appears to be 8" bs, stock rear. It looks like these are as tight on the inside as it gets, even with bump stops cut they are very close.
Would it be safe to say narrowed 3" per side with a 5" bs would be best fit? Anyone else running this combo have more input?

Accounding to my calculation- I too am about to install my narrowed rear(3") My TT2's now are 17x11 w/7.75. So -3" would be 4.75. They make a 5.00" BS 17x11 TT2, so I am gonna run these, maybe with a 1/4" spacer if it rubs on the inside.
I have 15x10 weld rts's with 4.5BS for track wheels that I will run until then.
Honestly- I think you will only have a 4.75" to MAYBE 5.25" range that would work with an 11" wheel. On my car- with the fender lips rolled- 4.75 wouldn't scrub at all with no BFH.
