You need to figure some clearance for the sidewall of the tire. Look at the section width of the tire you plan to use. Subtract your rim width from the section width. Half of that number will be how far the tire will stick out from the wheel. Keep in mind that there will be some sidewall flex on cornering.

Are you wanting a reversed lip design or standard lip wheel...Intro only offers up to 10" wide wheels in there reversed lip wheels, although for a ton more they will weld two hoops together to go wider. Were they possibly telling you the wheel only comes in a 10?

For what it's worth I have a 18x11.5 wheel and a 315/30/18 tire on my 68 w/ only a 2.5" mini-tub.

If you are stuck on Intro wheels give HvyDeez a call, they are easier to deal with, they are who I used for my Intros.

I am running 11" wide wheel, 5 1/2" backspacing. I had my rear end shotened.

Thanks
