depends on the offset of the wheel and your suspension setup. I had to BFH and roll my fenders to fit a 305 on 56mm offset and prokit lowering springs:

a 10.5" rim. Although I think a guy on here just did it on his stock ws6 rims but many say that isn't safe.

Check the wheel/tire section, faq as its been covered many times.

Like above, alot of times a Big F'n Hammer needs to massage the fender well where the tire rubs.
