Re: 65 C10 SWFS BBW "Clyde" @Poypeyes Rod Shop

Chris, my wheel is 11.5" wide which makes it 12.5" wide across the outside, and my tubs are 13.5 wide across the inside...Add to this the fact that my rear-end is all fresh and I didn't want to re-address it, or the costs of buying new axles...again!
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!
