track width

I posted this a few days on the wheels, tires suspension.....etc. No response.
So I'll try again here.
I have a 48 ,f1 with a camaro ifs and a 9 inch rear end from an 80's truck. The combo makes both front and rear about 3" wider than stock. puts tires close to fenders. (I only needabout1 1/2" on each side).
Are special wheels available that can reduce the track width by 1 or 2 inches
If available what are they called and who sells them.

If I'm reading your question correctly, all you have to do is measure the backspacing on the wheels you have and then order custom wheels with backspacing you need to fit your truck.

I think if you could find a set of wheels you like from a late model truck it might fit because of the back spacing mentioned above unless you're asking about aftermarket.

What I meant above was to use the back spacing of the wheels that you have as a reference point to start from, and adding the amount you need to clear fenders. I went crazy trying to figure out my required backspacing from scratch.
