Default 315-30-18 tire fittment

I plan on mounting a pair of 315-30-18's out back on my T/A. My rear wheels are 10.5". What all do i have to do to make them fit? I was going to have them mounted and installed at a local tire shop. I wasn't sure if i needed wheel spacers or not. Thanks for any help.

pound the **** out of the bottom of the inner wheel wells, by the control arm.

How does your car handle hard bumps without your bump stop?? Still a smooth ride ??

Do nto cut the BS off . . .

Cutting the BS off has absolutely nothing to do with massaging the wheel wells . . .

No BS increases the likelyhood of the tire contacting the wheel well.

I shaved the stops off without knowing about the rubbing....Mine only rub..and it is a slight rub, when I accelerate hard in a corner and start to drift, other than that no problems...
