to get a 315 to fit right your gonna need the right wheel to make it look presentable.

Ive seen them on 10.5inch ponyR's and they definitly look right

i beat the living hell out of my fenders to fit the 275s under it, didnt really need to do as much but i figured id go ahead and "prep" it for 315s...just mount them, see where they rub and swing away...rolling the fender lip will probably have to be done too...and flipping quad shocks, and having the right wheels.

Well if a recall correctly they put a 315 on a 10.5 PonyR rims for that project ttop coupe in the magazine 5.0 Mustangs and Super Fords. I also believe they showed pictures of how they modified the inner fenders. It was a while back but chech their website im sure its on there! I believe they fit pretty well! If it were me i'd copy what they did but maybe find a different wheel but with the same specs as im not a fan on PonyR's! fyi

I run 285s with no rubbing.

I have seen 315 Nittos run without much issue. A wide 315 might need a lot of work.
