There is clearance between the trail arm and the inside of the wheel ,,, I think I could actually run a 9" back space if I would modify the bracket that holds the E-brake cable . Then maybe go with a 14" wheel ! LOL !
No frame mods for those fat tires? I was under the impression you couldn't do more than maybe a 5 inch back space on a 10 inch wheel on the fleet side... If you was able to do it then Ill be going wider myself...
