Default 11.5 wheels in the rear

anyone done this? By my calculations a 57 offset would fit on the front side but i havent had a chance to get under my car to see if this will fit on the backside of the car.

Come on I know someone has tried this.

i would run my same 275/40/19s on the rear because i dont want the tires to buldge, the whole reason for getting wider wheels

not if you know the right people lol...

i paid 600 for my tires 255/40 front 275/40 rear and I've figured that if I sell my current wheels at market value, I could get the new set and still come out even or on top.

275s on an 11.5 wheel? Isn't that stretching the tire a little far? 275s are designed for 9'' wheels... I'd at LEAST go with 315 or 325s.

wheel range for a 275/40 is 9-11 so 11.5 wont be much of a stretch, i'm currently rolling 255/40 on a 9.5
