What size rims

I am running 12 x 8.0 x 6 right sides. A 11x 7.0 x 6 left rear and a 11 x 5.5 x 6 left front.. What size rims should all tires be to get the stagger right. I thought I saw a chart somewhere that gave tire, rim and roll out sizes. Thanks
 
Are these treads?
Your wheel width determines your stagger to an extent. You can stretch or shrink the tires (some,) but if you're dealing with treaded tires, it is difficult to size them once they have been mounted.
Any particular reason to run the big left rear? Is this a big HP application?
With the sizes you have mentioned, I'd suggest starting with 10" right side wheels, 8 3/4" or 9" LR wheel, and 6 1/2" or 7" LF wheel.
Now, that depends on track size and stagger needed too.
Personally, I'd get rid of that big LR tire and go with a 5.50 (same as LF) IF we're talking lower HP class.
Most of the treads are made for bigger HP and even the 250 and 500cc winged outlaw karts that can buzz the tires at will.
We offer a smaller set of Hoosiers with 34" right sides that work considerably better in the stock classes if your track allows them.
