Default back spacing

I have a rear suspension conversion on the brain and would like some assistance. Does anyone know what the back spacing would be for rear wheels on a 2000 silverado 1500 swb with springs moved inboard. I would like to go with 10 inch wide and tuck them if the tires will still clear the inner edge of the wheel openings on the bed.

Thanks for any help

A stock truck will accept a backspace of 7-7.5" for a 10"

If you're springs are moved inboard already, then the inner fender may then be your limiting factor. Get out a ruler and measure it.
