geeeeeeeeeee thanks uncle bob . , just a couple more things to think about.

If you go the bigger rotor, your ralleys may not fit. I'm assuming you have 15" ones. With a 12" rotor, and the caliper hanging above it, it probably won't clear anything smaller than 16" rim. Check that first.
I have been told that I can run a 12 inch rotor w/15 inch ralleys but will check to be sure.

Positive offset wheels are okay to a point.
yep I understand that & it kills me everytime I see a "RICER" going down the street w/the tires & rims sticking outside the wheelwells.

BTW, it wasn't clear to me whether you were trying to get 3" wider overall or per side.
per side. and I'm know some of this stuff but I'm looking for advice also, because its much better to ask questions first & get oppions then dump a bunch of $$$$$$$$$$$ in it & then learn "IT WONT WORK", I hate when that happens. Right now all I have invested into the frame is $0.00, zip, nada, nothing, zero and since I bought the S10 truck & sold parts off of it, matter of fact I'm still ahead about by about $400 or more. so keep it coming I'll take all the advice I can get and use it, thanks again folks.............joe
