Also learn how to make sense when you write. Haha. And why not just put the slicks on and find out if it fits or not?

The best way to find out is putting it on the car.

my buddy ran the lenso rims with 22 or something and he had to use a spacer and it still touched the fender a little bit, so id bet you would 2 but hard to say just my opinion

What rim are the slicks on?
Lensos SHOULD clear however that is a big tire and probably won't, any other rim will need to use spacers.

Let's ask this, why do you think you need such a big slick? Is this a Hot Rod car or something because that sized tire is overkill, especially since you are asking this question.

Also you should be concerned about the ride height as it may rub the fender.

Rotor clearance depends on rim design.

UCA clearance depends on tire width, wheel offset, and tire diameter.

Having said that, a tire that large effectively lowers your final drive ratio, which makes acceleration slower. It would be better to run a slick tire closer to or maybe a bit smaller than the OEM tire diameter, or around 23" or so.

All depends on power level of the car.
