Yes, that will fit. I had the same setup on my '00 Camaro. You will just have to trim your fenders a bit to compensate for the tire growth on the big end.

Before you go down the track do a long burnout and check your tires for any signs of rubbing. If you trim the bumper panel be sure to bend the metal plate at the back of the fender opening or it WILL cut the tire.

no problem on the tires and rims working together, as I know plenty of people running a 15 x 8 rim with a 28 x 10.5 tire. They rec. a 10" rim but it will work.

Clearnace issues are another story altogether......
