Question will 16x9.5 et streets fit under fenders?

I was thinking of getting a set of et streets or dragslicks.I wanted to put them on my stock rims.Will the 16x9.5 fit inside the fenders?My car has the sportline springs that is why I ask.The tires have to fit inside the fenders.I don't want to rub at all.Thanks Jeff

I've run them and know a few people that have run both sizes(11.5s and 10.5s) of ET Streets on a 16" rims and have had no problems.

I second that. I ran 16 x 11.5's ET Streets on a set of Salad shooters for about a year with no problem.

Not sure about the Sportlines. But with Eibach Pros 16x11.5 ET Street fit on salad shooters. The Sportlines drop the car even further, right? I did remove a portion of the inner fender lip at the bottom rear corner. There wasn't much clearance and I was worried about tire expansion causing interference.
