u posted that u have 10.5 +43 without rolling fenders?
at all? if thats the case i should def be able to fit mine with a 50 plus offset cause the rim sits further in than ur
right?
cause if 1 inch equals 25.4. ur 7mm closer to the the fender because of the +43 then u have to calculate ur .5 which is a about another 13mm to edge
all together that 20mm closer to fender than me at 10 inches wide at +50
so if i add another in inch i will be 25.4 closer to fender
which puts us really close (5mm)....and u didnt roll ur fenders....and i def will rolll mines
so i def should fit????
hope it sounds right or am i wrong?

I have 10 inch wide wheels at +35 offset i run 275's and my car is quite low. i was touching the fenders but ever so slightly. i rolled my rears just a tad and life is good. i would think youwould be fine with that offset and wheel my advice would be to go to the tire shop and have them mount up a couple different sizes and check it. i had my tire guy put 185 and 275 on my rear one on one side one on the other so i oculd see profile and how close to the fender i think the 285 woud have worked but they wer a few weeks out and the 275 were in stock anyway 315 may be pushing it i woud just mount them up and check

i ran 285/35 X 18 w a 10 inch rear wheel offset +45. rolled fenders and low (25 inch ride height) no problem.
i now run an 18 X 10.5 wheel offset +30 w 295/35 X 18s. since i needed 5/8 of an inch due to the additional offset and i wanted a 295 rear i added Shine's Burnout rear fender flares which worked perfectly and are not overkill. i run 265/35s on 18 X9.5 in the front at +40 and 25 inch ride height.
i consider this to be the perfect setup for a dual purpose agressive street and road racing FD.

yeah im running 10.5 on rear also if your suspension is good than you shouldnt have a problem if you roll the fenders but if your like me and your suspension is shot then you should upgrade to some kidney kickers that way you dont ruin your tires and spend more money than you have to if you need to ksport isnt bad for prce and quality 36 point adjustable if your ganna do it do it right.im upgrading to 13 or 13.5 rears here soon to acomidate my wide body

i would think the 275 would work with a roll for sure, not sure about the wider tires. i have 10.5s on stock rolled fenders BUT i only have a 245s BUT i do also have a 15 offset. i dont see why you wouldnt be able to make yours work. the 35mm difference alone will put yours in slightly farther than mine even with a 1/2 inch wider wheel, giving you room for wider tires.

i went ahead and did them. they def fit w 275 w semi roll. now next step are 315's w fenders 100 percent rolled, since 295 or 305 aren't avail in 17 in.
well see i might even keep the 275's on there

Just saw this thread. I had 17x10 CCW's (7.5" backspace) that I widened to 17x11's just like you have. I ran a 315/35 Kumho V710 in the back, but I flared the stock fender a little bit. How much camber you have and the shape of the shoulder of the tire (rounded or sqare) will affect how much of a roll you need to do. I should also add that all 315's are not the same depending on manufacturer, they could be as much as 0.5" different in actual width.
In any event I think you'll get them to fit, it just may take some rolling but you shouldn't have to get aftermarket flares. The camber can be pretty important in how well the tire tucks in under compression, and I run around -2deg.

I think you could run ~+25 in the rear. I'm running a 10" w/ +37 and the inner clearance is minimal. You should be able to get away with that as long as you roll the fender lip with a slight pull. Do keep in mind that this may stick out slightly, but it should tuck when the suspension compresses.

With the 315's it will depend on the tire. For example, with a 18x10.5" wheel I used to run a 305/30 18 Hoosier race tire that had a very square shoulder. I needed *more* clearance with that tire than I did with a 17x11 with 315/35 17 Kumho which had a pretty rounded shoulder.
When I flared to clear the Hoosier, I just used a fender roller on the stock fenders and flared them a bit. Not the easiest thing to do and not crack the paint (I did). I would suggest getting a tire (loaner maybe) to test fit, then take the spring off the car so you can jack the suspension all the way up and see how much clearance you need.
Certain 315's are doable in the rear with just a roll of the lip, but it will be very tight.

Gene Felber ran an 18x11 +48, w/ a 295/30 Pirelli, and significant camber, and that required a conservative ride height, and REMOVED (not rolled) fender lips.
Your fitment will depend alot on the specific tire brand's shape and actual size... The 295 Pirelli's were apparently as wide as a 305 Hoosier. If you stick with a 275/40/17, you may be OK... but you're adding alot to the outside only of the wheel.
