What is the backspacing on those rims? Has to be out there a bit. Those tires work out to be 10.4" wide and 29.3" outside diameter. Which, given stock or close to stock backspacing, should not cause too much of a problem.

But as Mike has stated... You are likely going to have to cut some things. It really depends on how bad it is rubbing. You could try the 5lb hammer approach and just massage the firewall and inner fender back a bit.
