My rear end in my car is cut 3.75 on each side Street wheels are 17X11 4.50 B.S. and drag set up is 15x10 3.50 B.S. fits nice looks good.Mine is a Trans am . Trans am is a little wider then a Camaro .Camaro you need to cut 4.25 on the rear end if you want to run this size of rims.

4.5 is not gonna work with a 2.5" narrowed rear. mine is narrowed 3" each side and i cant decide if i want to send the 4.5" back for some 5.5" and run a spacer or try them as is. the 4.5" is boarder line on if it sticks out to far on my 3" narrowed/side

I'm willing to bet the OP's rear end in NOT narrowed 2.5" per side. Maybe measure it from axle flange to axle flange and compare to those who are narrowed 3" per side?

I also questioned this at first and called mwc and confirmed that it was 2 1/2 on either side I also did measure, It I forgot what that measurement was.
Dj what is the length of yours and I will put a tape up to mine.... Car is not at my house so I will need to get back to you on my measurement.

Mine is supposed to be narrowed 3" per side. I'll measure it from axle flange to axle flange (the surface that the wheel bolts against) later tonight and report back.

hmm ok.. did you have rotors on when you put the wheels on to measure? Sometimes I forget that part lol.. When I put my wheels on 2 nights ago it looked like your pictures but I had no rotor. My rear is covered by a bunch of **** right now in the corner so tomorrow I will clear it out and get measurements.
