I had BFG 265/50/16's on the back with no mods, I did radius the fender wells to make sure they wouldn't get cut. They will rub a little during agressive cornering.
sorry bad_turbo but 315 series tires in order to get any where near inside the wheel well one would have to take a torch and hammer to the wheel well in addition to rolling the fender lip and pont82fbird wanted to know the widest tire that will fit with little to no modification. I still stay by 295's as being the widest tire you can fit with only rolling the lip which is a easy modification. to learn how to fit 315's use that good o'll search button, you'll find its not to hard to do and some ppl have found it very rewarding. I personally can't wait to have the funds for 17x11 zr1s out back wraped in 315's but I have chosen to build my motor first.
