Default Will a 28X10.5 tire fit in my car?

Car has a 12-bolt narrowed 3 inches on each side, SJM adjustable LCA's, and I just got my 15x9.75 Bogarts with 5 3/8" B/S. Do you guys think I will have to mini-tub the car to get the tires to fit? Or should I go with a smaller tire?

it will fit with minor banging on the wheelhousing area. no different than a stock wheel/rear assembly.

i narrowed mine 3" on each side and run a 5.5BS wheel with a 13" wide tire. i had to cut up but a 10.5" slicks (non w) will fit easily. in fact, you might not even need to bang much at al
