how much backspacing should i run? I'd like to have about 3/4 inch between the tire and fenders.
i'd measure it for myself, but i'm stuck in my office daydreaming about this and the truck is at the shop.
has anyone here run really wide wheels? got pics?
thanks for the help.

First you need to find out how little backspace a wheel MFG can make an 11" wheel with, then figure out where in the wheel well you'll place the wheel/tire with appropriate space on both sides then measure mounting surface to mounting surface and thats how wide your rear end will be, you'll most likely need to narrow it if your going to go with a serious deep dish. It's been 12+ years since I've worked in the truck shop but I think I'm close on the formula. A quick call to Alan Budnik will tell you how deep he can make a set of 11"s..
