Only with coilovers, aftermarket (or relocated) trailing arms, and rolled fenders or flares.

The question is why? You're not going to get any more traction out of a P305+ tire than you will a P285 or P295, and you can fit those on wheels that fit the car without modification.

dont get me wrong u can get traction out of stock wheels with drag radials. ive had ccw 10 in rear but since same price to go bigger why not. basically this is only for cosmetic perposes. lets say i did a 295 on 11 inch rim w 50 offset will i still need to roll and by how much alot or a lil?

Hard to say. I only know one person who has ever put 11s on the back without a widebody kit, and the wheels were nearly touching the relocated trailing arms.
