Default 11" width wheels in rear

For those that have 10.5" in the rear, do you think or know if 11" will fit?

Hey Sam, I am sure I am going to put 11" rears on my wife's GS F-sport with our new lightweight forged Vossen Precision Series. With the data we collected we are pretty confident they would fit, maybe even go with 21s. Not sure of offset yet since we have not produced them but as soon as we get closer I would be happy to share what we found out.

Not sure if anyone here yet is running an 11" currently.

Alot of guys including myself run 11's in the rear on our 3Gen with fender mods. When washing the wife's 4Gen it seems like the fenders are little more flared out therefore I'm sure they would fit. Fender mods might still be needed. Mike hurry and get those 11's on

What size tires were on the 11" wheels of your 3rd gen? And what was the offset?

you can probably run 11s it just depends on the offsets

It will be depending on the offset and tire width. For sure you wont be able to run the stock 265 and most likely be a high offset on it unless you are thinking of rolling the fenders more

I'm second guessing myself...maybe 11" is too wide looking? i.e. looks weird on our car?

I mean most ppl here are already running 10.5 in the rear, what's .5 of an inch hurt?? I mean seems like it won't make a difference but who knows, it could!!! I'd say it would b wide but wouldn't look weird, just depends in ur preference!
