28" tires

[mavereq]

i am about to order some MT E/T streets and had some questions about what i can fit. i think i can fit 28x12.5x16's if i roll my fenders.

has anyone tried this?

I'm Running Hoosier's 28"/10.5-16 on 10" wide Bogart's and they fit fine without having to roll my fender, best of luck with what you choose

well what gears are you going to be running, with 3.55's and 28's you'll bog BAD at the line.....I had 3.55's on my solid axle with 10.5 by 26 15's on the back of my 99 and I had no problems at bit, 6500 RPM off the line with no spin whatsoever! so I'd think if you go with a 26 you could go a little wider and it won't hurt you off the line like a 28 will. just my .02 now if your going to be running like 4.10 or 4.30 or bigger, I'd say it would probably be ok....

i will be running 3.73's. with a 28" tire, your rpms/speed is almost identical as a 26" with 3.55's.

i know i can fit a bit wider with a 26" tall tire, but MT doesn't make a 12.5 in a 26"

True and I think my 26x11.5 is to small. I'll be going to a 28" soon as well. I have a 3.90 gear so I think this will be the best move.

i would love to go with a 28" tire, specifically the m&h 325/45-17 drag radial

i just can't get around tripping the abs

 

[mavereq]

but my question is, will 28x12.5's fit under the car with the fenders rolled?

 

[F8LSNAKE]

Yes, they should fit with the right offset rim. It will be tight, but they will fit. A friend of mine ran the the 28x12.5x15's on his.

 

[mavereq]

i'm definately going to order them. do you know what offset he got on his wheels and what width the wheels were?

 

[slocobrar]

i,ve got 28 x 12.5 et streets on 10x15 rims w. 6.5 b.s. no problems stock width 9 in. rear end

 

[mavereq]

ok, i ordered the 28x12.5x16 e/t streets and a pair of 16x10 wheels with 6.5" backspacing. i can't wait to get these babies on.
