Default widest rear wheel on a nbs rear ??

getting some rims drawn up and trying to get some things figured out , has anyone ran a 12" wide rear rim on a stock axle? trying to get it flush with the body and possible tuck a bit so the 305/40/22 can clear the fender lip but rolling it is an easy option , just want to know if it can fit. if so pics are a major plus.

I'm curious about this too. My fenders have already been flared so there might not be much for me to do.

Did the guy that put the quadtrasteer bed on his truck have a stock axle? He had some pretty wide wheels...

did some measuring i have about 13-14" inchs of room from the inner fender to the out fender i think they can fit and the tires i want are perfect for 11" wide but recomended is 10-12" so i think ill be good to go .

hopefully monday ill have more info on what im going to do with the new wheels. they are something that dont even exist yet and should be one of's.

well just measured backspace and a 12" (acutally 13") could fit but no room to spare for axle slide and cornering so it would rub for sure so going with a 10" all around but staggered

im willing to bet an 11 will fit but without tubing and cutting and flaring the stock fender there is no room . he doesent drive his truck anyway.

tape measures dont lie.
