Big Tires.

I have a 1989 Firebird and I want some new tires.
I have some BFG Radial T/A's on my camaro and I want to buy new ones and put them on my Firebird.
Now I have the 15x7 rims up front and the 16x8's out back.
According to BFGoodrich, 285/60-16's will fit the factory rear wheels, but will the rubber rub on the wheel wells?
Any help would be great before I spend $140 each on rear tires to find out i cant use them.
Thanks,

Re: Big Tires.

that tire is almost 30" tall and a foot wide, dont think it will fit well. I wouldnt go much taller than 28", unless its needed for another reason.
