I've run 245-50x 15s on 8" Campys for nearly 2 decades so yes- they will fit. A shallow dent must be pounded some 6" long in the left side inner fender (on my Pantera; the cars vary a bit) and the fender lips must be rolled in the center of the front fenders.

Additionally, if you decide to increase caster for better high-speed handling and reduced tram-lining, the wiper shield must be slightly modified. Remember, these tires are six full sizes wider and two sizes lower than the as-delivered rubber (185-70 x 15), and 2 sizes wider than used on semi-pro GR-3 cars in Europe.

Note that a new street/race performance tire is now available- the MAXXIS Victra VR-1- in 245-40x 15" size, with which some of the clearancing may not be needed. Dunno- no one including myself has yet tried them on a DeTomaso.
