Just what the title says, will an 11" wide wheel fit my 91 rs rear with 2.25" adapters?
I plan on using 295 30 r19 tires also

too many variables to say yes or no, specs on wheel? most likely will need wheel well work, see my post on the same topic in the fabrication section

Whats the backspacing/offset with these 19x11 wheels?

If its a C6 vette type wheel it may work...I got 19x10's with 295's and use 4th gen rear plus 5/8 spacer. total adder with that spacer and 4th gen rear is around ~2.4-2.5".

So most thirdgen rears would use 2.5" for 10" wide C6 wheel with that high offset/backspacing.

11" with different spacing would require different spacer length.

Looking at your thread you say you fabbed your rear an inch wider than stock and you had the 2in adapters. So wouldn't that mean I would need 2.5in adapters to have the same bs as you? I'm planning on getting the same wheels as you
