what r u guy modifying to stuff 315 out back, is it as simple as rolling the fenders with high offset or r u guys cutting/pulling the fender?

i'm on ikeya formula control arms, so i have the adjustability to suck the rim in more if i wanted to.
I'm not even sure what my offsets are technically at anymore compared to stock seeing as I've messed with the adjustments so much.
I do know that judging from the offsets on the rims and with the spacers I have on, the fronts are +23 and the rears are +27. I'm sure if I wanted to, I could probably stuff 315, maybe even 335 back there if I chose to.
So I'm running 15mm spacers (optional, since I didn't want to have too much extension on the control arm joints), with those rims, so that gives me a +38 and +42 for the rim offsets. When I first got the rims, they were almost completely flush with the fenders. Flush enough that it needed a roll or cut, but no where near what it is at now. The reason I opted for those offsets is because they were needed to clear these:
As it sits now, if I go under the car, I have a good 1-2 inches space between rim and coilovers (that's not including a buffer space between the two; so I guess more like maybe 3 inches between rim and coilovers). So in theory, I could send the rims back to HRE and have the inner barrel replaced to make a 19x12 and fit a 335.
*oh and color is Platinum Silver

I'm wondering how a 305 can fit under there. I'm running 285/30/19 with 35 offset on the rear and the clearance between the coilover and tires aren't that much. And the tire barely has a clearance between it and the fender panel, although I shaved most of the fender bottom line. But 305 definitely looks and rides better than the 285.

275/285 will be a more suitable fit, non-stretch look. Anything over that will bulge & you should take into consideration profile sizes as well. I actually had 315's on a 9.5 inch rim (TT rear) and it was pretty bulged. Looked badass from the rear though.
I currently run 285/30 0n a 19 X 10 rim on my SC (slammed)

I used to run 275 in the rear, but when I changed to 285, it's much better. The car feels like it runs on a straight line. It's smoother because of a little more rubber. And the important thing is it loses less traction under boost.
