Default How long can I keep my rear-end?

I realize that this question has been done to death...but 2 grand is a lot of money and I need specifics. I have an 02 SS m6, putting LT's with a TD out the back in a couple weeks. Over the summer I plan on widening my rear wheels the 11 inches and getting a 315 GSD3 put on there. What I would like to know is at what point am I seriously risking breakage of my rearend? The car is a daily driver so I really can't risk destroying that rear until I have the cash to buy a 12 bolt.

At stock power the rear can be broke with good traction.

I had only a flowmaster muffler *free no laughing* when my rear died.

...well damn, that really doesn't sound good at all. I guess I'll just have to put my car on hold for a while, it's backpacking in Europe this summer or a new rear end...and I'm sorry but I can get the rearend another time
