10.5's are the highest Ive seen on a stock body. 11's is certainly over-fender territory!
Edit: Here is the thread where Andy notes the specs:
i'll have to get some better pics of what we all did to make 315's fit.
wheels used are an 18x10.5 +30 offset. no spacer in rear but fronts did use a 15 or 20mm spacer.
The rear was the hardest to make fit. with wisefab, you can actually adjust the rear track width. We had to move everything inwards as far as possible. The rear trailing arms are made for additional clearance vs the stock trailing arms. Also had to do some slight fender pulling but not much, but enough that you'll probably crack a little bit of paint.

Mitsubuishi part no. = MS240295 (item 32166B) (dont have the spec)
BTW, I have spaced mine down approx 5/8" using the stock bolts (might be wrong about the stock bolts. I may have used longer ones. Its was 10 years ago LOL)

What tires to choose: Dunlop RT2 or Goodyear asymmetric 3 ?
Based on the specs of the RT2, why not consider the Federal EVO 595's (same type of summer tire)

You think Federal will be as good as Dunlop? Dunlop should be more comfortible tyre.

Here they are before mounting. (important note: They run a size wide. i.e. 265 is really a 275)

I was looking to get a pair of konig hypergram for my evo 8. Still tossing it up between the 17x9 +25 or the 18x9.5 +25. I'd assume the 18's being that wide will probably poke out? Not real good with measuring the 9.5 wide wheels out. Im sure the 17x9 will probably fit fine. If anyone got any info on these that be great or pictures if you habe these wheels.

The 9.5" will need the full compliment of rear fender work to fit correctly (w/out rub). Rear roll, fender pull & bumper bolt relocation

Well, the 9" wheel will fit a bit better just due to the 9" width. But even at 9" a tight rear fender roll will be needed. Depending on the rear camber setting, you may require a slight rear pull

well finally stopped raining and took some pics of the set up. To me this is the most functional set up I have ran on a CT9A.
Specs: 17x9.5 +28 TE37SL 265/40 Federal Evos. Measure out to 275s. Only rubbing is at full lock on the inner liner. Fenders rolled flat in rear. -2.2 F -2 R. Rear bolt not relocated.
