Whos got some real wide 5x4.75 bolt wheels I can test fit with?

Hey guys. I need some real wide wheels to test fit on the front of my truck. I am making plans for it. If someone has a wheel sitting around with a tire wider than 295 on it let me know please. Otherwise I may borrow a 11" wide rim just to test the backspacing to get an idea of how things are going to fit. Just for a few hours. Just want to lightly bolt it on and measure. Ideally a 16x11 or 16x12 rim
Thanks.

LOL. I already got a 8" rim though. What backspacing is on the stock salad shooters? It may be enough for me to plan the max stock backspacing. I am going to have to modify the front end a little though. Im planning on some 27x14x16 tires front and rear . You know you can buy 27x19x16 tires? Thats 19.5" of tread. Anyhow, if anyone has a 11 or wider rim please let me know. Or a tinner rim with LOTS of backspacing. I have some 15x15 rims here but they have 14.5" of backspacing.

You need spacers with the salad shooters.

For my truck Eric . But Im pretty sure to get those tires underneath even the truck I am going to need an aftermarket spindle. Spacers are about as welcome as cat **** on my vehicles. Id sooner run 205mm tires than use spacers.
