Question 27x11.5-15 QTP fitment? Need some opinions please.

O.k. it`s tire time. The new 12-bolt has 4.11`s so I`m looking to run a taller tire this year. (was running 26x11.5-15 ET Street w/ the stock 3.23`s) The 12-bolt is also narrowed 1" ea. side. I`m using a 15x10 Centerline Warrior w/6.5" BS. The car is not lowered. I`ve settled (I think!) on a 27x11.5-15 Hoosier Quick Time Pro. I just wanted to get some input from guys with a simular combo before I order the tires. To this point, all my measurements say I can fit them in the wheel wells without any cutting which is what I want to avoid at all costs! I don`t mind if I have remove the rubber spring cushions to "center" the tire in the well. (Even if it looks like she`s doing a wheel stand all the time. ) I also don`t mind if I have to cut the axle snubber off ea. side or hammer the inner wheel well. I just don`t want to cut the sheet metal or plastic. Thanks in advance for any help guys.

You will have to do a lil massaging/cutting of the inner fenderwell to get them on there.

I had the same tire on a 15x8.5 convo pro with 5" B.S. My rear is Narrowed 2" on each side.

It can be done and its not too hard to do!
