You should be able to run 11.5's without a problem. People will "reccomend" not running 12.5's but it has been done.

Yep, 11.5s are pusing it but will work. Negative on 12.5s

12.5 will fit, hell a 13.5 would

but it would be a PITA for the person mounting it, and it wouldn't have the greatest wear pattern.

i would say 11.5 max..
