Anyone had experience putting 315's on the rear of a third gen?? Would like to know if it's possible, and what it requires..Thanks

I heard (given the correct rim size and offset) that you can just beat in the inner fender a little, but I didn't know if any of you have tried it

I've got my 17x11s, waiting on the tires, and i plan on posting pics once i get them on and ensure no rubbing.
