How wide is the stock rearend? How wide do you want to run? I would check with some of the guys running DSE rears on 2nd gens and see how close you are to their overall width because DSE recommends 6.125" backspace on a 12 with their narrowed rears which should get you a good ballpark baseline but typically when you're just cutting a rearend, we always suggest people buy their wheels first because it's a lot easier to mock them up and measure for the rearend than it is to measure for wheels.
