Whos got CCW SP500's I need to know the backspacing on the 18x11, 18x11.5, and 18x13. Im looking to toss on a set when I get my 9 inch, but have the 9 inch built to spec so that I can still fit them in the wheel wells. I understand im going to have to minitub it, but thats ok. anyone with some dimensionals would be a lifesaver. im also want to run the 345 BFG's if its of any interest or if anyone has done something somewhat similar to help me out with getting everything setup correctly

I don't want to sound like an ***, but probably will anyways...
If you are looking to narrow a rear end, you need to be considering how much fab work you want to do. I think about the maximum narrowing you can do before you start interfering with suspension components is 2" on each side. After that, you will start interfering with the stock LCA mounts (since you can't move the LCA mount point on the body-side without some fabrication).
Figure that out first, then call up CCW to talk about an offset to fit. The last place you need to be looking for this kind of information is on the internet. You need to be talking directly to the people that will be making them. If you are truly serious about this and have the money to do it, you won't hesitate to call CCW during business hours to discuss it with them. They are very knowledgable about their product, unlike most people in here. Hell, I can't even tell you the offsets on my wheels. They knew what would work and made it work.
In all honesty, this sounds like nothing more than a pipe dream for right now...fitting up a narrowed 9" with custom wheels is something I would only consider if I had about $6000 sitting around for the parts plus any other random stuff people rarely take in to account.

well what did you have to do to get your wheels to fit? im assuming they are 18x11s out back correct? did you have to roll the fender lip? do any hammering in the fenders or trimming of the bumpstops?
