Not without an adapter. I think with possibly a 0.5"-1" adapter plate, they would fit the stock hole. The key is getting the speaker high enough so the cone clears the OEM opening. The max. cone dimension from the drawing is about 5.87", as the speaker goes higher up, this dimensions reduces.

I don't mind making an adapter but I don't want to cut the door panel. So which is it?

seriously...a 6.5 inch speaker fits. so if the speakers diameter is 1/4" bigger on each side for a total of another .5". You will be just fine. make a 3/4 mdf baffle, screw it into the door and the thickness of the mdf will give the basket enough room to taper before it goes through the whole

Sounds good! Thanks everyone! I just want to make sure the car can go back to stock whenever we decide to part with it. May be a long time but I like to plan ahead.
