i don't believe so. at the very least you will need to get out the BFH. for some reason i was thinking the earlier cars didn't have as much room as the later. I run a 17x10 offset of 25 and i rub slightly on the fender.

The deeper they are, the more they'll stick out. You'd have to modify the rear wheel wells to fit anything over a 9 inch wheel.

you can gain a tad bit of space by removing the quads.. you really dont necessarily have to have them..
