Not at all...I said 5" BS won't be enough, and I'm not even sure that 5.25" BS will be enough either given the track width increase of the Wilwood brakes, especially considering that you're running a relatively large, 26" tall tire up front.
Given the cost of the wheels you're considering, I still think that there's no replacement for measuring and/or getting a tire fitment tool. My best guess is that you're going to end up in the 5.38" to 5.50" BS range and possibly still have rubbing unless you limit your turn radius and massage your inner fenderwells and outer lip. Your alignment settings, particularly how much static negative camber you run, will factor in somewhat as well.
I'm pretty sure Forgeline will loan you the tire fitment tool if you're buying their wheels, so it could be worth a call to those guys since every 1/16" in your case is going to count.
