track width of front VS rear on 71 3/4 ton 4x4

how much wider is the front then the back? i dont like how it looks with the front tires being out further, so when i get new wheels im going to get more backspacing on the rear to push them out even... i noticed the other day with the 31/10.5/16s the front is even with the fender and the back is tucked in..

im going from 16x8 with 31/10.5/16 tires to 16x10 with 33/12.5/16 tires if anyone knows the back spacing ill need to have the tires almost even with the fender and all out the same distance

4x4 always track wider in front like that, not so noticeable after 72. the rear axles were about an inch narrower 73-up than in 70-72 and it gets complicated cuz some 76-79 trucks had 2.75" rear brakes, so that would have almost made front narrower than rear, i could check on muy 79, its got 2.75 rear brakes...
