The housing ends where the axles / brakes bolt up.

You need to have an idea of what wheels you are wanting to run and the offsets, widths, etc they come in. Now figure out what tires you are going to run width and height. Then brakes (hat offset, caliper depth) and last axle offset. This will all tell you how much room to allow from the end of the rear axle housing to the wheel flange. Get out the measuring sticks and find out what the wheel well will accomodate and where it fits the best.
"Make sure to double check clearances at ride height and full suspension compression." Then you can tweak the rearend length to fit an offset provided by your wheel manufacturer.
I like to use a combination of a rearend sheet and wheel sheet to mark all my measurements.
