Tire width question (rear)

I've already tried to search and did not fine a clear answer so here goes. I've got Hre wheels with the gt2 offset. Can I fit a 315/30/18 on the rear with out any other modification? Thank.

The HRE's are 12Js?.....& you know, for sure on the offset?

But yea.....if they are GT2 offset, no prob.....315/30 of course is what the 2 came with OE (mounted on the 12").... plenty of room.

Depending on how much camber you're running you'll most likely need to roll the fenders to prevent rubbing. The stock 2 rear fenders came pre-rolled.

Colby is correct - negative camber and rolling your rear fenders will most likely be needed.
