315's fit just fine. Just to clarify, you won't be "square" unless you have 4 of the same wheels as well. You will pinch up front, and depending on the tire (A 315 Falken is different than a 315 yok), there will be less pinch in the rear. And you still can't rotate front to rear.

Good luck with the cheap tires. I'd just assume get the correct ones the first time so you don't have to buy twice, but do what you gotta do.

I’m buying twice regardless. It’s either pay $2K now for Michelin’s and then a proper setup when boost goes on this winter or spend $900 now and then the proper setup this .

Any FYI I’m not poor. If you judge people solely by their financial status in life, you’re nothing short of a fool…
I have a dumb question: Why not just get the post-FI tires you're planning on now? Get the front toe fixed and carry on.

A couple reasons actually:

1) I allot myself a budget throughout the year for each of my hobbies that I juggle.
I plan on going with an Apex 18” square setup and there isn’t enough left over in this years car budget to drop another $5K this year.

2) This car isn’t my daily so I’m not dying to get it back on the road.

At this point, I’ll probably just replace the belt showing tire with a used 295/35/19 PS4 or, try out the 315/30/19 Kena’s. Regardless, I’ll get the front toe corrected.

Some of y’all should actually research the Vesda’s. They are compared to Firehawk Indy500’s with a little more grip.

Are they cheap, yeah, but they do have a good rep from a performance/dollar ratio.

Unless you're doing the AP Racing front brake conversion you're not going to be running a set of 18's on the front of your GT350.

Also I wouldnt waste any time wedging a 315 onto a little 10.5, especially on the front. I ran a 315 on a 10.5" wheel on the rear of my old SN95 and that was already wobbly. Would hate to have that feeling directly connected to the steering wheel.

Even then if you don't want the wheels poking out past the fender you'll need some decent camber.

Look at the PP2 and how its wheels kinda poke out a bit. Ford didn't want to go super aggressive with the alignment so they choose that look instead.
And instead of making proper fenders, they added that plastic door strip to tje fender lip 🤮
