My wheels are spaced to be within the INNER box side and the tub...
I didn't want the possibility of the return lip on the tub to ever come in contact with the tire, and I am running stock bed height/tub configuration (except for width).
I decided that is was a better choice to pay a little extra to buy a custom offset wheel to get the width & backspacing that I needed than to narrow the rear-end, and Travis at Pro-Performance really pulled this off for me!
Either way, the placement of the wheel was critical!

Modge your absolutely right man...this is why I ordered my wheels with a custom offset as well, however I went off of what Raceline recommended for an bagged 66 C10. Needless to say they were about an 1 5/8 off on their calculations.....they did offer to fix it but it was my choice to stick with the bigger lip and narrow the rearend.
