Default Will 315's clear on stock 68 fenders?

I have a DSE sub frame and I am thinking of sending my Forgelines in to be widened to to accommodate 315's. However I have heard I would have to roll my front fenders. I am not sure I want to do this because I don't know how ti would look. Any pictures of this or info would be appreciated.

DSE recommends a max of 10" wheels up front, beyond that inner fenderwell becomes an issue. I've seen people do it if they limit the steering which cuts your steering radius down. Makes you do three point turns in parking lots many times. The other negative is the wider tires seem to track with the road a lot more, causing wandering.


Looks cool, totally doable, but there are negatives IMO.
