Default Will an 11" rim fit on the rear of an 07 GT?

Can you guys tell me if these numbers look good to fit an 07 GT? I am looking at a used set of wheels in this size. The manufacturer says they will fit, I am just wondering how much they are going to stick out. Anyone have a pic of an 11" wheel on a stang?

20x9, 2" lip offset +34 front
20x11, 3" lip offset +43 rear

I spoke with NC Forged yesterday about another set of rims. At 10.5 rear, they said they could do a 4" lip. Sounds huge!!!

I think you're going to have significant clearance issues.

I found an offset calculator. Here is stock compared to the wheel specs.

Stock - 18", 8.5" wide +45 offset

Aftermarket - 20", 11" wide +43 offset

The calculator says that the rear setup would have 30mm (1.1") less inner clearance and extend out 34mm(1.3 inch) on outside.

Does this sound like there would be an issue? I don't know much about the inner clearance.

Any info appreciated!

Yea, I did last night. I couldn't go to sleep without checking :-) As of now, I have a set of stock 17" wheels on the car as I sold my 18's to a guy. There looks to be close to 3" of clearance from the shock inside and about 1.5" to be flush with the outside fender. I am thinking they will work, it's just a $2500 guess if I don't know for sure! They are 3 piece forged wheels.

Are you a gambler? 10.5 with a 285/40 I know have no issues.

What is your offset on the 10.5? This is the problem I am having. The people who have an 11" do not know their offset and the companies that make a custom wheel won't tell me what the offset would be for an 11" to fit our cars. I would rather spend $3400 on a new set I know will fit then to gamble on a used set for $2500.

Ugh, this is frustrating.
