Default 28 inch tire

Hey folks, I've got a 01 z06 and a friend of mine has slightly used M&H's 325/45/17 tires for sale. Tires are 28 in. tall 10.5 wide and calls for a 11 in. wheel. Just wondering if anyone here is running this size tire on their setup. Will they fit with no modification to wheel tubs, as in missing the brake duct, or inside the top of the wheel tub. Thanks for your time.

On a C5ZO6, the brake ducts and inner fender liners will need to be removed to run a tire of that size.
