bottle - According to the BFGoodrich site, that particular tire requires a 10" rim. So according to the manufacturer, it will not work. There are a number of folks on this site who deliberately run over sized tires on narrow rims, but I do not recommend it personally.

Will the tire fit under the car without scraping issues, more than likely (provided we are talking stock suspension). Can you cram that tire onto those rims, again probably, though you may have trouble finding a tire shop to mount it up for liability reasons.

The Saleen wheels are 10" in the back after 06 and 10" in the back with the upgrade in 05, do you have the upgrade?
