wide rear tire/stock dimensions?

who's running the widest rear tire in stock dimensions and no tubbing? trying to fit a 11" on the next one with at least a 315 and still use the bags.

Check out the supercharged white Z28 convertible from TX. He's got 11's out back.

BTW: When are you gonna let the cat outta the bag as far your new project goes? I just wanna know what its starting out life as!

already did...it's a 91 coupe. although it looks like an 82 it's so stripped. picked it up for free, still looking for a vert though.


as far as the white one...yes i know about that but the tires aren't in the wheel wells. they are at least an 1" or more further out then stock in the pictures they are shown which means i couldn't use the airride. i'd have to see it in person. if you look at mine you can clearly see the wheels are in the stock locations. that's the hard part unfortunately..

I realize it's a fourth gen, but he had to modify his inner fender, cut or roll the lips, and get custom control arms...and I'm still not sure if it would clear the lip for you. The link for fun:

why dont you just flair the fender some and do it . Run 9.5 up front and 11 in the back and flair out the fenders. It seems to me that you know some pretty good body men so you could have it done. and it woud be cool .

definately have to roll the fenders up front to make 9.5 fit... then you'd have to move the rears outward to make it look right otherwise the front would stick out further then the rear. i really don't want to do that any more then necessary. we'll see, just curious if anyone else has attempted something larger then 295 like mine.
