2011/2012 GT - widest rear wheel/tire combo

What is the widest wheel/tire combo that can used [stock tire height] without any modifications [sheetmetal]? A friend of mine has an 2007 GT500 with stock wheels/tire that are very wide but i don't know if that can be used for an example.

I also pm'ed and e-mailed "mr anderson" as he has 19x11 rear forgeline wheels to find out offset/tire size but he hasn't been on since his only thread.

PS - i tried the search button but it seems to be down as everything i search comes up not found.

I'm sure you can run up to a 12" wide rim like a buddy of mine has on his 98 GT but you will DEFINITELY need spacers!

There's a guy who's running a 12" rear wheel on his Red Vert. Here's a link to a thread he started.....

Get ready for some spendy suspension upkeep if you go this big. My buddy has blown through his bushings, shocks and struts as well as his springs. But then again he also put a cobra motor in his gt as well so that's not helping to preserve his suspension I'm sure.
