Default Widest rear tire you can put on a non-widebody 911?
Guys, how wide can I go on a rear tire on my regular body? I know I can do 16x9's without a problem.

Can I do a 16x10? Would I have rubbing issues with oil lines? Would it require caster/camber changes?

Thre is a guy in Florida (Gary Stratton/Stratton Motorsports Winter Park Fl) that makes wide wheels when you send him 16x7's.

Anyone heard anything good or bad about this person?

The Lindsey Racing/FIKSE choices are just too expensive for me right now.
