Gotta be a widebody. Took my hoopty '04 and a set of 18" MAE Crown Jewels (10.5 fronts and 12 rears) into a specialty shop and he said he could do a widebody to accommodate it but it wasn't gonna work without a widebody.

Have yet to see a 211 widebody I've liked so I scrapped it and am going to do it on a R129 SL. Believe or not the R129 actually can take the 10.5 / 12's with no widebody... just rolled fenders but it's to German tuner looking for me.
