Probably. I have 205 55 r15 on mine. They are close, but no pulling was required. Your speedo is going to lie to you, though, with the 50s.

Each of these cars was built a little different (and beat up a little different over the past 30 years.) 205 is about the biggest you can usually go w/o rolling the fender, and I don't think you can get them to work with 60+ sidewalls.
