Looking for rear swap help n or advice

Question of the day.

Im looking n considering swaping my rear end for a wider (longer tire 2 tire).
I know the 4th gens are wider (2") but am wondering if I can get more.

Reason is i am in progress of building my wide body and want both form n function but with in reason (meaning I dont have the budget for 2K custom rims) but thought maybe a chevy truck rear?

has anyone done such a thing?

I know everyone looks to widen tires n keep under the wells but in my case I need then to come out of the wells. Id be happy with 1.5"-2" perside. Leaving me open to corvette rims...

so, anyone swap a rear other then 4thgens
