If he will squeeze it in there, it WILL fit. It's all about the angles
x2,,,,,,,,,,,,,, lower the car (on a lift) put a jack under the control arm,,jack it up 2 to 3" and the tires will fit and not run when driving.
With your car on the ground all you need is 1/4" or more from the front of the rear tire to the lowest point of the rocker panel.,( when mine is in the air i can only get a sheet of paper to pass between tire and rocker panel..
