anyone use a 5" b.s?

[Perryk]

Just curious if anyone has ever had any luck with a 5" b.s, wheel on a stock width rear?

I know a frame notch would be needed but can ya still fit it?

Thanks

You'll need a very heavy notch, and at least with my wagon, it'd never work without a mini tub.

hmmm

How bout a light notch and a wheel spacer?

Are they safe for 450 hp range with drag radials?

I put 5" bs on the back (my front wheels). They cleared the car but the inner wheel rubbed the caliper.

i have 15x10" rims with 5" bs. with 28x10.5W's(same as 325/50 radials) pretty large notch, fit fine with stock width now have 7/16" off each side and i got about 1/2" between the frame and tire.

5.5 BS with 15x10's on 275 DR's here. I run a i/8th spacer to clear my Aerospace brake calipers though. I have a heavy notch as well.

Here is some pictures of 28x10.5x15 MT slicks mounted on 15x9x5.5.

Below you can see how much I cut the frame for the frame notch. You can see the black "cut" mark across the top of the frame.

Rear of the car was sitting on a small hump in the yard in this picture.
