15" tubs enough for a 29x15x20 tire?

I ordered a set of 20x12 and planning to put some 29x15x20 on them, my 71' has already tubs that were widened and measure 15". Is that enough to clear the wide tire?
Curently it has 30x13.5x15 and it seems that it has it still has 1.5-2" before it hits the inner tub.
