C5 rear wheels on a gen5 F body
Wanna run my dads 2011 Camaro today as we have some crisp air here in southern Wisconsin. I have some Mickey Thompson 265/40/18 drag radials on my 18x9.5 rear C5 rims and am curious if anyone knows whether they'll fit and clear everything on his car. The obvious statement is to just try it but we live fifty five miles apart and don't want to spend a bunch of time driving to meet for nothing. Lol. We already know his car goes 12.9 with a 1.97 sixty on the factory tires and would really like to see a 12.50 with the added hook, cool air, and opening his E cutout which was closed on his prior passes. Next year it gets a converter but we're trying to max it out as he bought it like this.
Any info would be much appreciated

Update; they did not clear the brake calipers and would have needed about 3/16" worth of spacers between the axle flange and the rim. Also there was a plastic sleeve on the axle flange lip to center his aftermarket 20" wheels. One of those deals where things just seemed to be working against us. 👎
