Furthermore,the 315s at the front will be 5mm closer to the suspension and NOT 2mm as the OP states..!(Tyre is closer by 20mm but then the offset difference is 15mm out,difference 5mm!)
This is what I used for offset.



It can also be seen in the other diagram.

241mm/2 + 45mm = 9.5" wheel extends 165.5mm past hub surface into fender
267mm/2 + 30mm = 10.5" wheel extends 163.5mm past hub surface into fender

You are correct about the tires sitting further in. 315's are more tire to stuff on a 10.5" than getting 275's on a 9.5" wheel. Good catch. If speedo could be corrected, I'd think about using 305's. At the end of the day, I can safely say that these fit, and with plenty of clearance to the strut.
