Default Do 11.5 wide in the rear fit?

I am debating to but some wheels for sale but i am wondering if 11.5 wide in the rear fit with a conservative (not aggressive) offset to fit wide tires.

Does anybody KNOW if i will run into rubbing issues with the strut in the rear or any other component?

Don't think it will fit without modification.

Darren with Intense is running 11s. I'm not sure about 11.5s.

There used to be a sticky about the possibility of a 11.5 Volk I think - gauging interest, but I dont know what happened to it. It listed some offsets of their possibilities I think to be able to run a wide tire.

A guy on g35driver was running 12's in the rear, so an 11.5 should fit with the right offset

Hey bro, i think it will work with the perfect offset. I just went to an 11" with +32 offset and there is still some room. What size tire are you planning?

Maybe a 315 drag radial Ron..

BTW: The new wheels are looking pretty stealthy!

redlude, can you give me the link?

Thanks!

I just checked my clearances and it will real tight. I have maybe 4mm (or less) of clearance from the shock body and the outer is pretty flush with the fender. Then again I'm running 20s so an 18 would have the outside diameter of the rim at a lower point on the shock body which leans towards the wheels at the top.
