wider rims with stock tires

I have a 13 2ss with factory 20 inch wheels and stock tires. Can i put a 20x11 rim on with the stock tires in the back. I dont know the stock size offhand but was curious if anyone had done this or knew if it could be done. Looking at a set of staggered Foose wheels. 20x9 in the front and 20x11 in the rear. thanks guys

Rears are 275/35/20 - and no they won't fit on an 11" wheel

Stig -

So on a SS I have 8's and 9's - so with stock tires, I could do 9's and 10's?

Would they stick out too much? Any caveats or tips to do or not?

Buying new rims tomorrow...

Yes, that would be the limit.
Lots of guys run 20x9.0 (front) and 20x10.0 (rear) wheels with the stock tires. The tires will be slightly stretched, but nothing too bad.
Here's a pic - stock tires on 9" front and 10" rear wheels.



Then when you wear down the stock tires (or have extra money) you can get some wider tires to better fit the wheels.

I thought the rears were 275/45/20. Either way, won't fit on a 11".

Just checked, it's 275/40/20
