rear wheel well width

I have heard that the rear wheel well is wider in a fleet side than in a step. Can anybody tell me how much wider and is it wider between the outside of the wheel well and the drum or between the inside of the wheel well and the drum or both?

I believe the overall area is approximately the same.

Wow 12.75"? A lot more room back there than I thought.
