Question The Widest 20" Tire With Rolled Fenders?

That's right, I'm asking what's the widest 20" tire someone is running with rolled fenders and are not rubbing?

I know at least 20x11s have been stuffed in there, but I wonder how wide a tire could also fit.

I'm going with 19x11 with a +25 offset and 285 rear tires in the future.

Offset is going to play a huge factor in determining fitment.

12's should be doable with a 285 on there

Thanks guys, but I'm not asking about wheel size but tire size. Maybe an obvious question, but I'm trying to find out the widest 20" tire has been run with rolled stock fenders. I'm currently running 285/30/20s and I'd like to stuff at least an 11" wheel with at least 315-325/20" tires on it. Again, maybe a dumb or obvious question, but will fitting a tire that size in there be a problem?

Is anyone running 315s, 325s or 345/20s??

I know on my350z those sizes are more prevalent.
Not many here road course or boosted enough to use such big tire sizes.

I know I will be running those tire sizes soon but on 18's for track events.
For street I will probably stick with 285/30/20 when I get a set of 20's.

I have very little traction through 3rd gear with 500+whp on 285/20s. I'm sure going from 285/20s to 315/20s or wider will make some difference in traction.

Part of the problem is that tire size and wheel size are as well as offset are all dependant on each other. 315 should be doable with the right offset though, somewhere around 20x11+25

Okay, thanks. I understand it's dependent on the offset, I'm just trying to find out if anyone out there is running this kind of setup.
