Default 18x10.5 rear's

i want to stick some big meats(LOL) in the rear of my car. I found a set of the AFS 18x10.5 terminator reps and im probably gonna pick them up today or tomorrow since their hard to find. I know im probably gonna flip the quad shocks, but will i have to roll the fenders? they are going on till summer so i have some time if they need to be. want to run either a 315/35/18 or a 335/35/18

They won't fit if you're running them on your fox unless you do a minitub. 315/30R18's will fit no problem on a new edge. I ran them last wired on my afs 18x10.5 reps. I'm going 335's now and they require a little modification and some spacers with rolled fenders but they are definitely wide!!!

Gotcha. Lol might wanna add that to your sig. They will fit, but I suggest you roll your fenders just for good measure. To run the 335's, you might need a spacer. I have a friend that's running 335/35R17's on his sra cobra that has a fox rear end in it and he has no issues that I know of but his fenders are rolled. Btw, get a good set of lower control arms and ditch the quad shocks.
