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..
thanks for the info. its looking like it'll need 6 inches of backspacing to work and the wheeltubs will have to be widened a bit if i drop it more than 5 inches.
