A LOT of people run 315s on these cars.

My car is lowered on Eibach Sportline springs, so I had to roll my fenders and hit the inner wheel well with a hammer a little bit...but other than that they fit fine.

I have 17x11s with a +50 offset.

Reach under your car at the arch of the wheel well and feel the metal. It probably sticks out about an inch and just loves to cut through tires!

hah

Here is a video that explains it.

Those rollers are very expensive, but most performance or wheel shops can do it. Or you can rent one on here and try to do it, but be careful of cracking paint.
