I tubbed my truck too, and I'm thinking while at the track, I need clearance for the tires to tuck on hard launches (plus I'm lowered anyways)

I was thinking probably about 8 - 9" backspacing for a 12" wide wheel.
They have a 6" backspacing, which gives 7" out from the drum mounting surface (it's the wide rearend also). I'm about 6" lower than stock in the rear right now. I've got a couple more inches to tuck before their is any interference. I think with a 20" wheel and 29" tire that there would be less ballooning which would provide some additional clearance. How hard do you plan on launching?
