Question Widest wheels on a Z?

Ive tried searching and only came up with a few posts. My question is what are the widest wheels you can run on a Z? I was looking to run at least 9s in the front and 11s in the back, wider if possible, without going widebody. I have a fender roller so thats no problem. I dont want to hear comments about poor handling or the ride quality or anything, just widest wheels you guys are running. Pics welcomed.

i'm sure you can go wider than 11's in the back if you're ok with the wheel/tire sticking out of the fenderwell

I would run a slightly stretched tire so I wouldnt mind a little poke. I just want to see some pictures of what people are running with wheel and tire specs. Im looking to run 18s or 19s.

I'm running 19x9 (275/30-19) and 19x11 (295/35-19). I have fender work done on my car, otherwise it would scrap.

Could you elaborate on fender work? rolled or pulled? I have a fender roller so I plan on rolling them.

Cut the fenders. You can roll as well but cutting will open up more space for fatty wheels.

you have to be able to run something wide in the back without going widebody. im coming from volkswagens where we ran 9s up front and 10.5s in the back. (yes it was purely looks, everyone knows they are fwd cars)
