If you're sure its a narrow housing, Just me.. Id stick with that one. It may cost you a few more dollars at first but. 75" tire clearance is huge when you have a 5-6" drop.

Ex: most of the guys running 20s will do a 20x10 with 5" bs on a narrow housing. BUT you need 5.5" for the wide housing (still. 25 wider but its tough to find 5.75" bs unless you do the high end wheels)

My point is the same width wheel will have more of the'lip' look with the narrow housing. Were talking about an inch max here but the lower you go the more precious this space becomes.

Id do Mosers. Just measure your housing to be sure its 55.5" from inner backing plate to backing plate. 63-70 axles on the Moser site, 30.5" long.

Have you swapped axles before? Its not terribly difficult to do.
