Default 18x10 315/30R18 Fit? Issues?

I need a no BS answer. My 285/35R18 nittos are toast and I want something wider for my 18x10's. Will a 315/30R18 Hoosier or BF Goodrich Drag Radial fit my 10 Inch rim? My 2002 Mustang GT is lowered 2 Inch all the way around so will they still fit? Or will I have to roll my fenders? Thanks guys!

Roll them fenders or be prepared for sliced tires, other than that they should be fine.

mine dont...yet. but with the IRS and the new suspension setup going in...im hopefully getting mine rolled soon. if you want to see the damage that unrolled fenders do to those of us dropped on H&R Super Sport springs...i'll take some pics on thursday or friday and it will scare you senseless.

heh, with the new coilovers in the rear, just be careful not to go too low. I bottomed out the CO's on the perch just to see how it looked and it rubbed like a bitch^^

You could do it, I'll post the site if I can find it, you can rend the fender rollers and the heat gun. I did it myself and it was pretty easy, only thing I can recommend is to use a towel soaked in hot water to protect the paint and to keep the paint heated while you roll it.
