With some wheel well modding it will. Get like a 295-315 tire should be ok.

Re: will 15x11.5 fix our third gen ?

those wheels wont fit your car, they are 5 on 5 pattern, wont bolt up, and they dont have nearly enough backspacing, they will sit outside the wheel well a good bit.

to properly fit the wheel on you car you need 5 x 4.75 bolt spacing, and at 11.5" wide, 8" of backspacing. Which requires a lot of wheel well modification, like a minitub.

however, im not aware that the wheel in question even exists in a 11.5" width? they may be measuring ther wheel wrong and its really only a 10.5" wheel. Bit it still wont fit.

you cant use them, move on
