I am wondering how wide a rear wheel we can throw under our trucks without modification. My stepside is lowered 7 in the rear and I have a set of 10" wide slot rims I want to run on the rear with some low profiles. What is the widest you guys are running?

I will have to check my offset tonite. I know that pretty much will decide if they will slide up inside my fenders. I am sure it will be tight if it will fit at all.
