advice on an error...

i have purchased some

Front:
17x8.5 et40
255/40/17

Rear:
17x9.5 et38
275/40/17

i have an 88 turbo TII im going to place this greddy kit and somewhere around the 350-400whp range...SO i wanted these......now my issue is would these fenders be enough to fit them?











so any and all advice....

worse comes to work id sell the tires and then just get some 255 rear and 235 fronts? buT id rather NOT and i also dont like the standard issue wide fenders either...so yea....dilemmas, dilemmas, dilemmas....lol


Thanks for any and all input!!!
