The two threads stuck right to the top of this modified area would be a good start. Are you planning to cut the stock flares or add flats? Any fender coverage laws to worry about where you are?

6.25" is the stock backspacing. A 4.75"-4.5" backspace is fairly popular, and can run 'most' 35x12.50's with no rubbing, assuming enough lift or flats for wheel well room.
