Default Wider Tires

Hey guys, I wanted to run 315's on my 95 stang this summer. The car is in the garage and right now Im rebuilding the engine and I was wondering what I need to get done to the car to run 315s. Money is no object, it will come with time, and time I have plenty of.

you might need to tub the wheelwells.
I saw some 295's with control arms and no quad shock.
but he said it rubbed when turning sometimes.

I think they'll fit. The exhaust pipe may comes close to rubbing. Watch that.
I have 285's on 18x10's, but they are deep dish rims (offset is 22).
There is still tons of room left though.
I may shoot for 305's next set of rear tires.

Are the wheelwells the same size on all SN-95s? Im on a 95 GT, so it changes things around a biut. I want 315s in the back, and something around 255 in the front.
