Depends on what back spacing you want for the rear wheels. Just because you mini-tub a car doesn't mean you have to narrow the rear end...you basically do that to have more dish (less b.s.) on the wheel. For instance on Jackass it might actually have a wider than stock rear end...look at how much b.s. his wheels have.

The best way to do it is to buy the wheels with the look (b.s.) you want, mock them up (with tires mounted) and then measure for the rear end width.
