I know there's more room on a fleetside than a stepside too, but I don't have any idea how different they are. I just know I've read stepsides are hard to get 10" wheels in the fenders.

I'm sure you've done your homework though. It'll look killer when you're done.
Yeah the rear is still a challenge which is one reason I haven’t bought tires yet. With a stepside I don’t think 295s will fit stock. I have always planned to add fleetside wheel tubs to the bed. I want to see what kind of clearance I have with the 71-72 rearend first. I’m planning on new posi, gears and axles so swapping for an earlier rearend is an option. I really don’t want to narrow the only for the fact it’ll get me wanting a 12” wheel again with an even wider tire.

I’m trying to keep my budget in check and loved this wheel at the price point.
