How much narrower than stock is your differential,I want to put 15x10" on my car that has a 3rd generation 9' rear end.

I am using 5.5" BS GTA 16x8 wheels at the moment and they fit just right.

You don't appear to have rolled your lip or massaged the inner wheelwells.

Is that the stock wheel opening or have you trimmed the bumper cover?

So for 10" not sure what BS I need,4.5" or 6.5"?

Thank you!!

nothing is touched in the fenderwells. as i said in the first post it is a narrowed 4" total. 2" per side. which should be just 1" less per axle than your 3rd gen rearend. the fit flush with the fenders as you can see in the other pics. no rolling fenders or getting out the big hammer. my 5" BS is as much as i could go without having the wheel stick out. i cant stand that chit. 6.5" BS on a 10" wide wheel would probably require mini tub.

as for the HP figures, we will see. i dont like to make predictions, but it should be decent.

Okay that means I must go the other way 4.5"- 5." BS, thank you for the info.

Hope mine looks as good as yours with the MT's[maybe 275-50-15 though]

Looks good, I have the rear of my car lower than that, but I will probably have to roll my wheelwells just a bit.

i havent seen the car in person since the wheels were put on, but if i am not happy with it, i will lower it more. i think the pics make teh car look like it sits higher than it really does.

WOW!!!!!! that looks sweet man. looks kinda like the Bogart ProStars i'm getting, only you have 1/2" more lip than the ones i'm looking at. sweet!
btw.......what rear springs do you have in the car, and who made them? i'm assuming they are the proper ones for drag racing? i'm going to need something better than stock on my new car.

thanks,
Dave
