Default Widest Tire Size?

Hey Guys, what's the widest tire set up you can go in the back? A buddy of mine is selling some maya's that are 10.5 in the rear, will that fit with no problem?

also depends if you want to shave the rear and cut alot out to accommodate the wider rear tire. How low do you plan to go.

If the offset is right for the car you can go 10.5, but unless your buddys car is using the same offset that our car would use you're out of luck. With 10.5 there's really no margin either way.
