maybe you should have thought about that before buying a wheel that sounds like it was made for a Z there arent many options for going much wider that dont involve custom fab work or a $7K widebodykit,,,

Pandspeed makes a wider fender but sounds like it wont be wide enough for ya,,,

Why would you buy wheels before knowing you could get them to fit?

Impulse buy

The panspeed fenders will only give you ~20mm pulled, so you're still gunna be rubbin with 315's. Time to build some custom fenders or sell the tires and throw some 295's on

ouch, doesn't sound like those are going to fit.
the panspeed fenders aren't cheap and probably still won't give you room
to be honest, there really isn't a need for anything larger then 275.

I'd honestly suggest reselling he wheels and buying something that fits better. I believe it'll be the most economical route to take.

Either pull out the torch and get to fabricating or sell the wheels...

Everyone is jumping on this guy for 315s, what are the wheel specs? If offsets are high enough, yet not too high, and wheels not too wide I'm sure you can fit them under OEM fenders with some work...

Also, What wheels are they?

No one is jumping him for 315s specifically. It is more about him buying wheels without knowing if they would fit. And without the wheels specs what else are we to go on?

My point exactly - he only mentioned tire sizes and everyone is automatically saying he screwed up in buying them. Really need wheel specs more than anything else, who knows, could be 18x10 +40 front and 18x11 +30 rear. That setup is extremely feasable with OE pieces and a little work, without needing repaint.

If it was from a Z, like rotr8 suggested it sounded like, they will 99% be able to fit under the 8 without needing repainting or any intensive work, let alone a 7k widebody

I think you can get it in EBAY. But if you want, my friends have fender flares. I can refer them to you if you want too. I will try to contact them just for you. :D
