That is the biggest recommended tires for those rims. Both have 79.5" circumference. You may want to drop the nose a tad to keep rake in the car. Both have 10" tread Hoosiers seem to be wider than other brands. Clearance should be fine
You can see the specs on the Hoosier site www.hoosiertire.com
left column road race then to spec's then scroll down to DOT tires
