Re: Back spacing

I'm running 19x12 with 6"bs on the earlier 67-70 rear, that has been narrowed an additional 1" on each side (2"overall). 7" rear drop. I run a 345/30 and the outer tire tread is barely inside the outer fender well - and that's with me trimming most of the rear fender lip. Granted, i have a step side bed, but with a 6"rear drop, you might have some rubbing, as the tire will almost definitely stick out past the fender. you are better off waiting to get it all back together and measuring your setup. Most people don't want to hear that, but it's a costly mistake to make if you order custom wheels and they don't fit the way you hoped. Ive always run the widest tire i can in all my 'hot rods/toys' and the only way is to do your own measuring. Plenty of info on the site of guys trying to run 12" wide rear wheels, don't know if you tried the search function or not.
