Your asking for a whole inch and a half of tire width on that rim..... I've seen it done.... it just bubbles out quiet a bite. Its noticeable when looking at it from the side. But its doable.

I've seen it on a car but they bulge inwards. I had 285s on the back one time with 17 x 8s, they fit but you could feel the car lean back and forth on the tire.. I guess thats how you would explain it. They are really too wide for the wheel.

I wouln't go over a 285. Get the 17 x 10.5 if you want the 315s.
