I guess the next question is buy direct from Billet Specialties or is there a better place?

I'm getting ready to buy a rearend and can't decide if I want to narrow it or just leave it the way it is.

I agree fully. No point in going with an aftermarket rearend unless you narrow it. Your rear wheels will thank you.

If you narrow the rear to where you can't run the 17x11's, let me know, I wouldn't mind buying them back

Very nice! That is one thing I always wanted to do to that car.

How much did you narrow it? What tire size?

2.5"per side , 295/55/15 with 5.5 b/s. It pulled the tire in 1/2" doing it that way, worked out really nice.
