Would be VERY tight. I almost Want to say there too wide and would interfere with the fender. You dont need a tire that big. I have 275/60's on my car on 15x8's with 5.5 backspace. They rub pretty good. At the track i dont think i would be able to break them loose with 400-450whp.

For slicks you only need an 8 inch tire. Slicks are measured by the tread instead of the sidewall like regular street/drag radials are. People are in the 9's on 8 inch tires.

They will fit...depends on how much you have your car lowered, also I would recommend you roll the fenders too because when you launch hard it will rub. Like nose chunks says, you dont need them that big unless you've got major hp. Im running 26x9.5x15 its alot better for me, fits perfectly with more room to launch with.

Try them out
And if they didnt fit sell them

Really? That's your advice?

When trying to spec out tires, remember slicks are rated as tread width and not section width.

A lot of work would be involved to make that fit. And unless needed, I wouldn't.
