Shoot man you could probably get away with it.
Keep in mind, you might get them on and have no issue, but it's going to get alot closer while turning or with groceries in the car. Go on a test run after you get them on with some moderate speed turns. Listen for squeaking and check for rubber in the wheel well when your done.
I recommend the safe route. The mods literally take 20-30 minutes, and could save you a pair of tires.

FYI, you CAN run 315's on a 9.5 wheel!! I think they look great!! And it does not rub at all!!

White- '02 Formula A4
Is there such thing has having too much grip? I mean i'm stock right now but of course I wont be forever. I have traction problems now(Kumho Ecastas) and was just wondering after how much power should you really upgrade to the bigger tires? I don't see a point to upgrading to a 275 then do a few more mods and then upgrade to a 315. So when should you upgrade to 315's?

Too much grip? No such thing.
315's are fine for a stock car, there's no need to wait until you hit a certain point with your mods. Kumho Ecsta's are pretty cheap tires, but you may want to consider some suspension mods to keep those tires planted.
If you really want grip and aren't too worried about tread life or inclement weather performance, upgrade to some DR's. You can shave plenty of time off your 1/4 by putting DR's on a stock car. If you're going that route, set aside some $ for a new 12 bolt/9 inch.

I have Kumho Ecsta's also, 275/40/ZR17
When my Camaro was stock, I would take off from a dead stop or a roll and smoke the tires. It was tough to get a good start on the street when running another car.
Now I am modded with 400 HP and 4:10s and I can not take off at all with out worrying about hitting the rev limiter. Wider tires & wheels, IMO, would definnitly help and Drag Radials are not an option because of $funds$ and the miles that I put on my car.

The 4th gens with 315's you see at the track have 10.5" or 11" wheels.
Read the tire manufacturers recommendations.
If you are foolish enough to try it fine . . .
If you find a tire shop ignorant enough to install them fine . . .
But encouraging others to recklessly experiment, NO.

Im NOT encouraging anyone to do anything!! Im just telling anyone that you CAN run 315's on 9.5 wheels and they look good!! You want to talk UNSAFE, fine!! You probably dont have drag radials on you Camaro 'cause it aint that quick anyways!!:however, how many of us utilize the suggested air pressure (cold/hot) when we go to the track? Bet we ALL run well under that rating!! Heck, even NASCAR breaks those rules; some to the extreme even! So keep your self-rightous, over-analyzing comments at bay and reserve your incompetence of stupidity and ignorance to yourself!! Have a nice day!!!

I saw 315s mounted on 9" wheels with no isues. The guy has been running them for over a year and they look fine. Not worn in the middle or unevenly either.
