Will a 275/60-15 tire fit under a 88 GT without any rubbing or clearance issues?

I'm buying a set of drag radials and want to put the largest tire i can fit. It aintall for preformance but also for the looks...I love the look of the fox bodies with tall/wide tires in the rear and the skinnes up front.

I'm looking at those. Will a 275x50-15 Be fine on a 15x8" Rim?
