Default Help with fitting x11 in the back

How much work is needed to fit x11 wide wheels in the rear? Also what tire size?

Wheels I'm looking at are 20x9.5 +20 & 20x11 +25.

that depends on you really....

how much tire stretch are you willing to run?
how much camber are you willing to run?
how much fender roll/pull are you willing to run?

I have a 19x11 rear and im running -5 degrees of camber and run a 265/30 rear tire. but my fenders are rolled as well. just depends on how far are you willing to go

20's with 11 is pretty crazy in my opinion.

This guy is running the same specs I'm wanting. Looks do-able

A roll and pull and alot of camber should be good. Still have to figure out the tire size. Lots of stretch will be needed.

roll,pull,camber kit....255/30/20 is the narrowest tire I'd use.

I had 20x9 and 20x11 and I must say its a hard fit to make. even with a camber kit and major pull it was still poking alittle. Front were perfect but the rear is hard. 19s would be better to do.
