17" x 11" Rears Fit?

simple question, will a 11" rim fit the rear well? i'm sure some pounding would be in order but even with that will they fit?

Re: 17" x 11" Rears Fit?

I have a 17x11 on the rear of mine. I'm running (i think) 1.25 or 1.0 rear spacers. They fit ok. Lil banging n the inner well and some coating. Also if you have rear disk's the caliper dampers are in the way and you may want to run tubular rear control arms. The lip of the fastory control arms get in the way. They come out to about the lip of the fender and dont stick out.
