Hey man from what I gather you can go up to 20x12s but you may need spacers. What is the intended goal? Personally I would advise against this kind of setup due to weight and handling but it depends on what you're trying to achieve.

First of all, the question should have been posted in the wheel/tire section.
Secondly, if he did navigate the question to the right section, he would have found hundreds of simlar threads asked and answered by everyone and their moms.
I swear lazy a$$ people. Jesus.
Btw, the post had been seen by 279 people without a single response. So.....

Dang You're getting beat on; i know i've seen 19x10's +30 on the front (factory sport rear wheels) with 285/35's & no rubbing issues.
i'd say probably a 10.5"@ around +35 offset/ Diameter may play a role here-20's may have more backspacing clearance.

The reason he hasn't gotten any responses is because he didn't even make an attempt to search (obviously) and he did not give any information of what he wants from the set up.

Starting a thread with that simplistic question is asking for that kind of response. He's just cluttering up the forum

I wanna say 9.5" front and 10.5" with 305s in the rear and 20mm spacers is a pretty good set up. If you call the wheel company you are going to buy from they will tell you what offset to get if you are trying to achieve the perfect flush look (even without spacers). Sorry I couldn't remember the exact tire size in front. I wanna say 275 but I'm not 100% sure. This would be without having to roll fenders or anything like that.

The +20 rear's scare me a bit with their potential Poke/unless you have a good bit of negative camber.
The car I know that is using +30 10's on front are 285/35/19 Hankook v12's,,a bit narrower cut tire than the Toyo's
by having the 20" +30 wheel on front;that tire you proposed may sneak up in that little cut-out pocket & fit nicely.
As for the rear-you could be ok;because that 315 calls for an 11" wheel & you will have it stretched across the 12,thus letting the tread stay under fender; *note* camber play's a huge role in this,,the more negative camber,the more the top of tire will tuck-just stay within factory specs.
As this set up on rear would not work for me;i'm going with less neg. camber & having tire more upright,,,so a 12" wheel would have to be at least +28 and could go as high as + 38 pending backside clearance.
have a nice Turkey Day!

Wheel Width Baseline Starting Point For ~Z's~ With Front/Rear Camber Within Specs:

I Know I'm gonna catch a little "GRIEF" from this; but it's ok/i've been doing my homework & these are very close starting points for you guy's & Gal's who want to purchase Custom wheels without having to use spacers for that flush look.
(*Remember A Baseline Start*) You can choose to go more or less aggressive with offset's.
For Wheels to sit in about the exact same spot on front and rear (outside lip to fender relationship) this is a list of my findings from various sites,pic's & own experience.
#1-using a 1" narrower wheel up front will need to be +12,13mm offset more than rear.
#2-for 1.5" narrower up front +6,7mm offset more than rear.
#3- a 2" differential will use same offset
#4- a 2.5" differential will use -6,7mm offset less than rear
#5- a 3" will use -12,13mm offset less
#6- a 3.5" 19mm
#7- a 4" 25mm less in front than rear.
Going back the other way.....
#8 using a .5"narrower wheel in front than rear will need +19mm more offset
#9 using the same width wheel, +25mm more offset in front than rear.
Okay,,,,,just a few examples of the math & i'm gonna let you think about it.

A 9.0"F & 10.0"R would be very close to +19 & +6
A 9.5"F & 10.5"R would be very close to +25 & +12

A 9.0"F & 10.5"R would be very close to +19 & +12
A 9.5"F & 11.0"R would be very close to +25 & +19

A 9.0"F & 11.0"R would be very close to +19 for both
A 9.5"F & 11.5"R would be very close to +25 for both

A 9.0"F & 11.5"R """"" +19 & +25
A 9.5"F & 12.0"R """"" +25 & +32

and back the other way
A 9.0"F & 9.5"R would be +19 & 0
A 9.5"F & 10.0"R """ +25 & +6

A 9.0" Front/rear would be +19 & -6
A 9.5" F/R """"" +25 & 0

Just A Starting Point For Newcomers-Don't shoot (these will put you very close)
alway's remember tire size/maker & camber play a Huge role in all of this.

Have A Nice Turkey Day!
