Are the wheels you have the final ones you are going to use? Do you have any tires mounted on these wheels? With mini-tubs you can go up to 18x12 with no problem. My wheels are 18x12 5.6"bs and a 57" rear axle width. Your wheels have nearly the same bs so a 57" axle would net you an extra inch clearance between the wheel and fender. If you are sticking with the current 18x11 wheel a 59" axle width would be in the ball park. However, if you think you might go with a wider wheel you will need to plan for that. Now is the time to decide because once you order the axle you are pretty much locked in to the configuration.
