I have a 9" in mine with an offset pinnion. Of course i am not putting that much power to the pavement either. As far as clearance to the top of the tire for a mini tub it all depends on what kind of susspension setup you have and how stiff you are running it.
First of all, it would help to understand your predicament if you put periods in between your sentences. Sounds to me like the easiest thing to do would be to go with a 12 bolt.
this site gives you a measurment for various rearends if you plan on getting a different one. http://www.teufert.net/other/rear%20end dimensions.htm
If your 9" axle tubes have different lengths your pinion is actually centered. One axle will be long and the other will be short. You can widen your rear end by locating another long axle and a section of matching axle tube with the brake flange. The difference in length between the old axle and the new axle is the amount of with that you will get by cutting off the old brake flange and welding on a stub from the doner. And when you are done the pinion will be off center.
