Default How wide are your rear rims????

looking to see how wide of rims everyone is running, looking more for the people with 10+ wheels.

Do you have any better pics of how those shocks were relocated? What shocks you running?

Wow, I was a pic ***** last night!

This is the pic with the 29.5x10.5's. They were too close for comfort, I didn't even run them. This is a drum brake rear, 10" wide wheel with 6.5" back space. This was actually the reason for switching to the goodyears. They had a narrower section width, with about the same tread width.
