front: yes
rear: is a bit deeper but yes

Ps: depends also on the tires - what sizes are you considering?

They will be fine, and you can also use a 21mm spacer in the rear to kick out the wheels/tire to the fenders edges.
If you do go the spacer route, then get bolt on bolt on spacers

Should work without issues. Tire width has some influence. I'd recommend 245 or 255 up front and 275 or 285 on the rear.

Ken,
You can use 295/30 tires on the rear. They won't touch the inner wheel well walls, and as Aryan and Stan have indicated, moderate spacers will work fine on the rear. You can go as wide as 20mm on the spacers with no problem. 1" is a tad wide, and might require rolling the fender lip. Fronts are fine. I use 255/35's there, with the 295 rears on my '89 and on my GTS.

+1 on the spacers, exactly what I am running on my '87.

I do have a set of Ott's rear fender flares sitting in the garage waiting installation, so rears should be fine - have to see what size spacers would work best for those.
I was more worried about the fronts, but sounds like they'll be just fine!

Thanks!
