RE: widest rim in back
10.5 with some 315's is pushing it... you have to roll the fenders in most cases (if you're lowered) but after that you start getting into tubbing the rear... you really don't need to go any wider than 10.5 unless you want a prostreet look, then you have to tub it out.

But be prepared to roll some fenders back either way.... All cars are different.
My buddy has an 03 GT (identical car as mine) with 18x10 and is running 295s (we have the exact wheel sutup)
His rear left tire rubs and hits on bumps and is tearing his tire to shreds... as well as his wheel well.
However.... Mine is perfectly fine!

+1 on the 10.5. You only have to roll the fender if you lower it more than 1-1.5 inches. You can go with up to a 335 tire out back, but Im pretty sure youll have fitment issues

RE: widest rim in back
so if i just put a sportline kit and it lowers 2 inch in front and 1.8 in the back and wanted to run a 315 tire with a 10.5 inch rim i would porbably have to roll my rear fenders.... what is the process for that...
