This is not true of privately-imported Euro Panteras, which may have the required mods as-stock as well as many other changes from U.S- std.
I'm still confused. I currently have a 71 with GT-5 fiberglass flairs which extend the wheel openings by about 5" beyond stock. This allows the 13" wide wheels to be housed within
the GT-5 flairs. The original wheel openings are still there underneath unaltered. This seems to work fine. I'm getting what is supposed to be an original 72 Euro GTS with the little flairs and 10" Campis. My rationale is that the pop-riveted GTS flair extends the stock wheel opening by 2" and an 11" wheel will fit under a stock body, hence, a 13" wheel ought to fit.
