largest rear wheel?

[caps]

whats the widest wheels that can fit on a stock 11? iirc it is 11" but could more be done with a different offset/backspacing?

No, 20" x 11" is the largest without altering the inside of the wheel well or the wheel well lips.

Would seem to me it would depend on the offset. I have 10" in the rear and about 1" of that 10", due to the offset, lies outside of the car.

No it doesn't. You can't fit a bigger wheel than 11" no matter what the offset.

never say never... you could probably poke a 11.5" wheel a little bit and get it to fit.

I was running a 19x11 with a 325 and it barely fit...

M?T street drags 305/50/18 Now thats a lot of tire

so was it tire clearance that was the issue? cuz i'm looking at 19x11/11.5 with a 275

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Yes the wide tire made the clearance tight

Thats pretty small man, I've got 305's on a 20x11 and they are slightly stretched

 

[HellsBells]

Is the tire clearance the same on 05-09 and '10+?

 

[Jucostud]

Yes

You can actually go up to 12" wide with the right offset. I have an 08 GT-500 that has been Super Snaked. I have had the 20" Shelby Razors widened to 11.75" by Weldcraft. I am running 305/35's with no rubbing issues. I am going to 335's shortly. There are several SS owners that have done this. Some have widened their wheels to 12"'s. This requires cutting the bump stop cover to keep it from rubbing there. Otherwise it works. The 11.75" width seems to be the optimum width. 335 is the widest tire that will fit. 345's rub. with the 335's it helps to have an adjustable pan hard bar to allow the rear end to be perfectly centered.

Hope this helps.

Griggs Racing 315mm Tire Shock Brackets also requires Shock Bracket Kit (05+) which allows use of 10.5"/11" wheels and 305/315mm (18) tires.

This. You only have 3" front spacing available no matte rthe offset and from what I measures the larges back spacing is 8.2"-8.3", that puts you at 11.2-11.3" max no matter offset. That's from the wheel well to the outside. I'm torn between going 19x11.5 or 20x11. Tire selection is limited at 325, but I dont really wanna stretch a 305.

The crazy thing is with there SLA kit you can actually run 315 mm tires all the way around! Our plan with our project car is to run 315 mm Hoosier R6's for track days all the way around!

Nice! What wheel are you planning to mount that on?

 

[kingnut]

ive seen 20x11 with 315/30/20 toyo's r88's. dont know the offset but they fit flush

 

[Ch4r1ie]

I'd want to run 18's for the track

Jongbloed 18 x 10.5 wheels...they are spendy but lightweight and strong. They only weigh 17 lbs a piece and we probably will powder coat them black in the centers.
