4.75” bs is the best with what they offer.
Weird thing is their mention of: "Rim width is measured bead to bead. Add 1" for lip to lip measurement"

So.... Does one need to add half of that one inch to the BS number provided?? Or, are the BS numbers as measured to the actual lip?
If the number is measured @ the bead (like the width), then you'd be adding .500 to the BS for a total of 5.25" which is spot-on for aggressively lowered trucks w/20x8" wheels that need clearance for turning.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
