Mackey,

I don't think they will fit, but I have never really tried to get a set underneath either on our cars.

My 28x10.5x15 leave some rub marks on my inner fender wells. So my thoughts are the one you spec out above would probably hit even more.

I think most of the contact is on my launches cause the car squates so hard. You might be able to stiffen the rear up real tight, like I do if the track is tight, but if its loose, and you need some more cushion, then problems could occure.
