Default What offset for narrowed 9"?
I have a Moser 9" and it is narrowed 1.25" on ech side and I am going to run a 15x10 Prostar on itwith a 26x11.5x15 or a 28x11.50x15, what offset do I need to have these wheels fit correctly?I know most people run a 7.5" offset on stock length applications, so would I use a 6.5" offset?ANy help would be appreciated guys.....

nope. not yet but if i want some wide tires i dont feel like beatting the fender wells to hell so the 6.5 backspaing will give me a extra inch. when i do narrow it it will be a inch on each side so these rims will be perfect for that. then ill have to do some beating.
