Default How wide rear wheels ?

I want to buy a deep dish wheels, I was wondering how wide I can go on the rear x10? x10.5 ? (I'm still debating wether I should go 18's or 19's)

i've heard you can squeeze a 12 wide in the rear which is a slight ridicoulous

12s will either stick out of the fender or touch the inner fender.

Adding negative camber makes it worse because the tire
will hit the inside.

Ask me how I know this...

going along the lines of what j_status was asking,
what is the wildest offset for wide rims which also gives dish?
if the inner guard (im assuming the plastic liner is what is gettin refered to) why cant you take it out and then pump the metal guards to fit wider rims without cambering it or any rubs?
