Who Has Notched Control Arms?

So much scattered info on this topic so I figured I would ask the question specifically to the people who have notched LCA's on their cars.

Next spring I plan on minitubing my car (myself) and am just trying to figure out what the widest wheel/tire combo I can have with just a notched control arm.

Not modified arms from gforce/hendrix but a notched arm. I'm well aware of these arms and they look fantastic but I only plan on running an 15x11 wheel with a 315 tire. I've been searching around and Ive seen a 70-80 offset mentioned with an 11" wide wheel wich equates to about a 8.75-9.15 backspacing.

Do you forsee any problems with this? Could I go 11.5" wide with a notched arm or would that be pushing the notch to an unsafe level? If I could get 11.5" and a 325 tire I would do it but its not a necessity.

Thanks for the help. Like I said I did a lot of searching on the subject but all the info on this is all so scattered that it was really hard to figure out.

Yeah Ive seen plenth of notches just cant figure out if i can fit an 11" wide wheel with just a notch or if I will need modified arms.

Also can someone move this to the suspension section? I feel like its a better topic over there.

Define...."a lot of additional work". Do you have any pictures? Just got my tubs in from gforce next up is a set of modified control arms from them. Anything else I'd have to do? If its too much of a pain then I'll just go with an 11" or 11.5" wide wheel.
