Anyone running a 12" rim out back?

I was just wondering if anyones running a 12" rim out back? I did some measurments and the stock wheel wells look to be wide enough. If so what is your rim specs? Im looking to run a 20x12.

You'll most likely need to mini-tub the wells for a 12" wheel if you've dropped the truck. Check out 69chevyshorts build thread....

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
