Default rear end width

i am thinking bout doing a 5-lug swap, and am in the process of looking for wheels, some of you may have seen my last thread. but if i were to change the rear end of my car toan sn-95 rear end, how much wider will it be than the one in there now?

i think i may have decided on wheels, they are silver bullits 17"x10.5" (+27mm with 6.9" backspacing) -rear
and 17" x 9" (+24mm with 5.95" backspacing)

will these work with an sn-95 rear end in my car, or would i have to just swap axles in my rearend to keep the same width?

3/4 of an inch wider on each side.

some moser axles, and a shop that knows WTF they are doing... and you could shorten the tubes, and the axles to retain stock wheelbase, and still have the goodies of the SN

im not looking to do all that, i just want to do a straight 5-lug swap. whether that be a rearend out of an sn-95, or just getting ranger axles and swapping with mine.

adder, if i were to go to the sn-95 rear end, what bs would i need to run those bullits, or will those fit right? (im assuming they would fit right if i were to just swap my axles with ranger axles...?)
