Default new tires, have questions...pics

i just finished putting some 28x12.50-15s out back. i havent driven the car yet as i think i have some clearance problems. here are some pics and let me know what you think. they are m/t et streets. i know the tires grow and flex some so that is what im most worried about. i believe i have about 1-1 1/2 inches around the tires...

you should be ok with that unless you are trapping at 140 or faster. you may want to roll the lips of the quarters though just so the tire doesnt scrape up top when you hit bumps or if the car squats at launch (which it you dont want)
by the way, car looks good. very nice 3rd gen.

true. im working on trying to find someone to role the fenders for me. as far as stopping the car from squating? i have 50/50 rear shocks, lca w/ relo brackets, panhard bar. which i dont believe any of that helps squating.

do they make rear drag springs or stiffer springs, etc?

yeah none of that has to do with squat. neither does springs. lca angle and torque arm length will determine how the car hits the tires. what kind of suspension do you have on the car?
