Will a 15X11.5" MT ET Street fit?

Will a set of 28X11.5-15LT MT ET Streets fit in the wheel wells of a stock thirdgen?

Here are the specs from the MT site:

Sidewall Width: 11.1
Tread Width: 8.6


I'm not worried about height... because my ride height is adjustable.... just will the width fit in the wheel wells?


My street wheels are 17X10" rims (5.75" BS) with 275/17R40 rubber and they just barely fit.


Thanks

On a 15x8 with 4.5" BS or a 15x10 with 5.5" BS, yes they will fit.

A 11.5" ET Street is the same size as a 10.5" ET Drag.

i have an 82 camaro, i currently have a 28x10.5x15 et drag slick on it on a 15x8 rally wheel with a 5.5 backspacing. i had to cut and widen the inner wheel well in the front. basically square the inner wheel well off. i can actualy go a bit wider, i have some loaner tires coming soon that are 29x12.5.15 on a 15x10 with 5.5 bs to see how they fit.

heres the 28x10

I am running 28X13.5X15 Et Street on 15X10 with 5.5 inch backspacing. I had to pound a little on the inner wheel well and I use air bags so they don't rub on the outer fender.
