its not a matter of it will fit on your car. but more of, is it the right size for your car?

You have to be pushing a great amount of HP as well as strenghtening the Axle dept of your setup. with that big of a slick, you will either have to run it with a lot of air, not like 8lbs of air, more like 12+psi. to let it spin a little to prevent giving too much stress on the axles.
other than that, I'd go with a smaller slick to start out with. more like a 24.5x8.5x13

if you havent had much expereince with slicks, start out smaller and work your way up. its much easier to dial in your car that way and less stress on the drivetrain.
