295/65/15 whats it take?

i am currently running a hoosier qtp 29/11.5 on a 15x10 with 5.5 bs i was just forced to go up from my 3.73 gear to a 4.11 which picked the car up on motor but its running out of steam on the spray so i want to go up in tire size to kill some gear. with my 5.5 bs will i be able to clear 295/65s without raising the back of the car? i have no problem modifying the inner wheelwell so more but i am not going to cut my fenders. any input is appreciated.

The Hoosier is
Tire Diameter 29.30 in.,Section Width 11.90 in.,Tread Width 10.00 in.

The only thing i found in a 295/65 is a Et street
Tire Diameter 30.00 in.,Section Width 11.90 in.,Tread Width 10.90 in.

Its alittle over a 1/2" taller closer to 3/4". And the Section width is still the same so you shouldnt have to do any inner/outer fender work.
