Honestly probably not. I have 315-3018s and I have no body mods, and my fenders aren't rolled. But 45 is a pretty tall sidewall. Maybe if you are at stock height, but I wouldn't count on it.

i'm gonna say no. my 315/30/18 r888's took some serious hammering and rolling and still rub under hard corner. stock ride height. but they are the widest 315 i've seen too

just put 285-35-19 on in the rear. Driver's rear was fine but on the passenger had to do the hammer mod...Old wheels were 285-40-18 and fit fine, but once you hit a bump they started rubbing
