I ran that setup with a 5 in BS wheel.

Do you know the width of the rear? I need to know the width of the narrowed rear or of stock rear please. Again i have 5.5 bs and a rear narrowed 3" per side with as 295-55-15 tire. Wheel Flange is an 1.5" away from axle flange both sides. Trying to figure out if tubes were cut more than 3".... Others say this combo works can't argue it since its numerous people with setup.
Even 5 or 4.5 bs not gonna cut it without spacer on my car.

Ok I got 65" measuring from the mounting flange where the wheel mounts against the rotor. Outside to outside, this rear is out of a 2000.

I would say your going to need a 4.5" to 4 3/4" bs depending on what wheel you use. I just don't see how anyone can make that set up work without using a spacer.


I thought at 2.5 off per side I would be plenty good and that just wasn't the case.

Okay thanks. Now I have something to reference from. So you uses a straight edge or something on outside rotor at studs?

Run a 5" BS then? How far in are you on a 5.5" BS? I always though that was too much w/ 3" narrowed rearend. But if you can't gain clearance even with another half inch, you might have an even narrower rearend.

Looks to be 1.5" to short with a 5.5 bs. 5 won't cut it and 4.5 would still need .5" spacer the way it looks. Just don't understand how others are getting away with it. The way mine sits right now there is no way to bolt wheels on at all let alone drive. Lol. Would have to beat wheel well in a ton and it already is beat in some for the 315-35-17's I used to run.

The way it looks to me is 3" total narrowing, 1.5" a side and 5.5 bs would work. Everyone says 3"s a side and 5.5". How can that be? Gonna do some measuring today and find out if rear was narrowed to much.

LAZZURAS where are u located? I see your dealing with brute speed which I live about 15 minutes from during the week. I live in the fort Wayne area Mon-Fri and back in Wis on weekends. If your in the area I wouldn't mind taking a look at your setup. Always wanted to stop by brute speed but never got around to it.

Straight edge against each rotor where the wheel mounting pad hits. I double checked and got 64 3/4. One rotor was a little cocked out the first time I measured it.

So if I run a 1" narrowed on each side with 6.5bs and 275/60/15 would the tire tuck with a lil love..... Need advice fellas.... Rearend is already narrowed just looking for back spacing that would tuck the wheel without mini tubbing.. please help the noob out

Thanks Bob. I wanna lower car about 1.5 all the way around. Will the back wheel tuck nicely?

Bob@BruteSpeed

iTrader: (16)

You're welcome. I doubt you'll find room for it to be lowered. Bob

So if I run stock back spacing it should tuck? Really don't want to mini tub or massive amount mods to get rear tires to tuck..

Narrowing 1"per side and having 6.5 backspace is not gonna tuck anythin/. Its gonna be stock look with ur wheel having a 1" deeper dish. Take away 1" from rear and addinv 1" to wheel is still stock wheel placement just gives deep dish look
