Build every wonder possible?
Is it possible to build every wonder in game before letting the Ai build it?

If yes, on what difficulty level can it be done, and what country/leader, and on what map size?

Would probably be quite doable with egypt on settler. Alternatively, Germany vs 1 AI and use all the barb units to harass the AI and force it to build units.

It's TECHNICALLY possible but practically speaking it's not. The Statue of Liberty, Prora, and the Kremlin are exclusive to Freedom/Autocracy/Order. It is TECHNICALLY possible for you to build all 3 yourself by switching ideologies, but that requires you to get influenced by other ideologies, which isn't going to happen (not the least of which because of all the culture you get from all the other wonders, which will do a great job of preventing you from being influenced).
Other than those 3 (of which you can make 1) it's definitely possible on lower difficulties.
Obviously Egypt is supreme for that.

It's not nearly that hard. The achievement is not restricted to a single playthrough. All you need to do to earn it is build every wonder at least once over the course of all your games. Three playthroughs is enough to get it easily, without needing to bother with ideology switches. Just pick a different ideology each time to get the three ideology-specific wonders, and you're golden.

Already got the achievement, I just wanted to do it as an accomplishment for myself and would be pretty cool to have all in one city.

You want engineers...lots of engineers...early would be the trickest, go egypt and get marble as a luxury spawn. Make sure you have every tile being worked being improved. Desert hill tiles would be excellent (especially with iron).

I'm playing G&W.. I dont like the BnW expansion really with all the delegates and voting and stuff and tourism. I enjoy the game so much more with just G&W.

I've done all of them (including Statue of Liberty, Prora and Kremlin) in one city a couple of times. Every time has been settler and the first time I did Venice to get extra money to buy normal buildings to allow constant production on wonders. Little bit of save scumming, but possible. To get the 3 ideological ones you need to choose and ideology, then vote a different one as the world to create dissidents, change and repeat.

I've done all except 2 and i'm on turn 213 now. (missed Statue of Zeus and Great Ligthhouse) but i'm not in a coastal city anyway so... and i'm playing on chieftain difficulty as babylon with 12 opponents.

Under normal circumstances it is practically impossible to do this on higher difficulties. On chieftain it is super easy to Wonderspam. Some time around Emperor or higher you have to really be on point with research, production, and possibly a Great Engineer to get the wonders you want.

My first ever Civ V game (before G&K and BNW even came out) I built every wonder in my single Egyptian city, on Chieftain (obviously there are more wonders now, and some are exclusive like Kronock explained).

However, after getting bored and trying out mods, and discovering The Ancients (crazy OP custom civ), I've proven my statement of "practically impossible on higher difficulties". You see, the unique ability of this Ancients civ is that they build ALL wonders in 1/20th (5%) of the required time. I've still been beaten to some wonders as them on Emperor, and somewhat more often on Deity.

If you're not coastal then you also missed the Colossus, East India Company (though I think that one is BNW), and the Sidney Opera House. You also need to be near mountains for Machu Picchu and Neuschwanstein.

You need a be on the coast, within two spaces of a mountain and next to a desert.
