Wouldn't that be totally determined by the wheels and their offset? For a given wheel and offset, one could determine the answer to this question. The only 'given' the questioner is providing is 'no tubs', which means stock wheelwell. For the stock wheelwell, a better question would be how wide a wheel and tire would fit without rubbing (ie. leaving 3/4" of distance on the inside and outside)...
You have about 12.5" to 12.75" to work with in a stock wheel well with a spring relocation kit. The center of the wheelwells are at about 59". As bamanomad said the rearend width depends on available wheel offset. At -50mm offset the rearend would need to be about 56" wide to center the tires in the wheelwells. actual dimensions should be taken off the car.

I think about 57 or 58 wide would be it. Stock is 60 wide.
