Question Widest wheels and tires to fit 1966 Mustang? What offset and backspacing size?

Does anyone know what the max offset and backspacing that can be put on a '67 coupe in the rear? I want to put the widest wheels and tires that I can get by with without going to the expense and hassle of half-backing.

Just put some solid 18's on with the most rubber you need. Wide tires look great, but dont overkill it. You'll lose power cuz of weight and get smoked by hondas

18's on a 66???!!!! It'll look like crap! I asked this same question a while back in the attachments is the answers I got, like to give credit to whoever gave it to me but I'm not sure who it was.
