What size tires was the guy that said he had 11" wide rims running? I'm guessing the guy was either mistaken about the size of his rims or the tires he was running were really not wide enough for an 11" wide wheel. Also there is no way you can fit 6.75" of backspacing with a stock width rear end. DSE's minitubs move the tub 2.75" inboard. Most minitubbed, stock width rear end guys are right around 8" of backspacing. Not sure how he could fit only 1.25" less backspacing in a space that is 2.75" smaller? If his rear end was 2" wider than stock he MIGHT be able to fit a 10" wide wheel with 6.75" of backspacing.
