15 inch wheel fitment on 1991 RS

I have found a set of wheels that are fronts 15 x 8 with 5 inch BS and rears 15 x 10 with 5 inch BS. They have P235/60R15 and P295/50R15 tires respectively. I feel the rear tires may be a little too wide and the fronts will rub? They came off a 71 Camaro with air shocks so I am guessing the rears are too wide. Rolls the fenders?

Please let me know if anyone has done this and if you feel they will fit under the fenders without any rubbing.

Thank you in advance.

The front might need a small spacer to clear the strut body, 1/4-1/2"

the rear will stick outside the wheel wells, and might rub the wheel openings depending on the condition of you suspension
