Default 15x12 with 5.5 Bs How much to narrow?

Hey guys looking for a little help on setting my tire/ rear end setup.
1. It's a 95 Trans am
2. M9 moser Narrowed 3.5 each side
3.15x12 with 5.5 bs
My question is I don't mind narrowing the rear end more it will only cost $125 to respline at moser for the pair and I have a local chassis shop that can narrow the housing more if I need. I don't mind narrowing/ moving the control arm mount inward. I have Wolfe mini tubs/ offset lowers/coil purch an spring.. My Question is how much does the housing need to be narrowed to tuck the wheel about a half inch? The finders are rolled and I will have a custom ps hard rod made? Any help will be greatly appreciate!

Sorry to resurrect an old thread. But info is very limited on 15x12 setups that are successfu . Just ordered my Moser M9 narrowed 3.5 per side and I am torn between 15x10 with 4" BS, or a 15x12 with 6" BS. More pics and info would be very nice.
