Depends a great deal on the backspacing of the rims, and the tire size you mount on them. I was running 205/55-15 tires on 5.5" TR6 rims (which have a fair amount of negative offset). Took some massaging of the sheet metal, and they still rubbed just a bit. But the 185/65 and 195/50 tires fit with no adjustments whatsoever.

I run KN 5.5's with 205/60x15s on my 3A. I needed 1/8" spacers on the rear to clear the leaf springs and the front might barely rub a full lock if I hit the brakes hard. Otherwise a nice fit.
