Default street wheels that fit 3" narrowed rear, is there such a thing?

Curious if there are any options out there other than drag wheels that would work on a narrowed 3" per side rear end. I like the RPM505's and i think they would look amazing with big deep dish. anyways i am trying to find what options i have if anyone has any experience with this situation.

Centerline, Billet Specialties will both make custom backspace rear wheels as will most all others that make a forged wheel.

Wouldn't you need a 4.5 backspacing wheel? Seems there should be alot of options.

CCW makes custom wheels, Boyd Coddington, Billet Specialties, Centerline as posted above and there quite a bit few more but thats all I can think at top of my head.

You will probably have more options than a stock rear.

you ould be surprised at the few options. The TT2's and BS streetlites are really the cheapest alternatives...after that there are a number of custom wheel manufacturers...all 3 piece forged $$$$ type stuff. CCW is out...they can't do a 4.5 bs on any of their 'normal' wheels. you can get the bolt together wheels in that offset(classics, etc). Finding a one or 2 piece rim in 11" wide with a 5" or less BS is non existant. I have searched and searched.

Its not going to be the cheapest option trying to find a wheel with that bs,but as you said there are alot of wheels with custom bs etc,whats your budget?and what kind of drag wheels are you running now? Maybe just get a 17 incher in front for street ise,if ya have weld rts get a pair of 17s for the front,

Cheapest bet for a street wheel is going to TT2 or BS like they mentioned.

A custom street wheel like Fiske is going to be expensive. Like they said also it just depends on your budget. But if $$ is not a problem I would go with Fiske FM5s or FM10s.
