Ok so if that is true you are 1 3/4" shorter or a extra 7/8" longer on each side so then add that 7/8s on the backspacing of 5.5 backspacing since it would be to far out. That would give you a backspacing of 6.375 and put the outer lip of the rim in the same location DSE would have it if you used their specs

May I ask if your fender lips are rolled or trimmed? Any pics?

Lips are not rolled, i have 1 inch to the inner tub and 1.25 inches to the outer quarter lip. Cant remember exact length of rear but its DSE so they could tell you the correct length.

Please, this whole set-up is spec'd by DSE but of course not going together as I envisioned. Pics would help a ton!
