Looking to run either some 17's or 18's and was wondering what's the widest size rims and tires that will fit on the rears without any major mods ? Also what backspacing or spacers were needed
 
Every car is different. I had no issues with 275x50 on stock wheels & now run same tires on 9.5" wide wheels with no issues. My buddy cut his 275x50 on the fenders with stock wheels. I had rubbing with 295x50 on stock wheels. A buddy was able to run 315x50, but they did rub.
 
I have 17X9.5 with 275/35/17 and no rubbing at all. and 4.75 inch backspacing.
 
Mine are a 295/45/17 with a 9.5 inch rim with a 5 inch backspace..mine rubbed once so far on a really big dip in the road im using cargo springs in the rear....
