The limiting factor on Chevelle rears is the lower shock bracket. It sticks way out toward the tire, and as you go with wider tires, your tires will hit the lower shock bracket before they hit the wheel tub. An 11" wide wheel is very doable WITHOUT the lower shock bracket in place, but of course this would require rear suspension mods.
Good info as always Vince!

My Chevelle is old school... It has a belt driven power steering pump.
