Im pretty sure you have to have custom offset wheels to clear in the front. If I were you I would contact Sam Strano. I know he runs 315's all the way around.

yeah, i'm sure the offset would have to be different. The Dick Harrell cars ran 315's all around also

Those will be fine, you will just need to run a small spacer in the front, (1/8" inch I believe) and do a slight bit of grinding to the spindle. They may bulge from the fenderwell just a slight bit though. I just recently saw a car with 315s at all four and thats what he had to do. I just did a 18x10.5 rim up front with a 56mm offset and it worked perfectly with no modifications needed either.

That's a pretty popular setup for alot of the road race guys as far as I know, but I'd get in contact with strano to make sure you wont run into issues

Since they have +50 offset I think you'll be fine with the rim clearance. I'd be worried about the tire rubbing on any 45* or more turn in the fenders. A spacer would also make this worse. You may be able to flex in the plastic fender walls to gain more clearance.
