Should work. I never had any problems until I went to 28" tires (28x11.5-15, 28x10.5-15W). That assumes your wheels have the 7.5" backspace, and that you are asking about a 4th Gen.

Go with the M/T ET Street Radial 275/60R15 26" and you will be fine.

If I remember correctly it was them ballooning at the end of the track and contacting the lower edge of the rear bumper- and having to modify the body some to make the fit too, but I could be wrong..

The 28's fill the back end up quite nicely and sure look bad-*** IMO...

The 28" ET Drags barely fit in the wheel openings. I had to cut about 1" off the leading edge of the rubber bumper cover, and hammer the metal point that is behind the bumper cover. We saw contact when running it up to 140MPH on a chassis dyno.

Had to cut some off just to get the wheels in the opening:

Than cut more off after seeing how much the tire grew:
