Not without a serious fender roll tab relo and a good alignment. It is possible but it won't be easy. Tires a 225 up front and a 255 for the rear. It's doable you just have to make sure these things are done correctly.

The fronts are more aggressive fitting, and will require a roll plus a bit of a stretch on the tire to clear safely, so 215's. You can fit more rubber up front if you plan on pulling the fenders, but 235/40 would be about it. The rears you can fit a 255 with just the basic roll and bumper tab relocate. Make sure your camber is at least -2 up front and -3 in back.

What do you mean by a seriouse fender roll? I just had the car repainted and rolled and tried pulling the fenders too but worried what you mean by seriouse?

They need to be rolled flat. You will be able to make up any lack of flare by running more camber.

You should be fine with the camber. Just make sure that when you get an alignment that your front toe is set to 0 and the rear total toe is no more than a quater inch.

I am unsure how much camber you will need but it all depends on ride height.
