U dont have to cut the suspension top get 28" tires to fit. The height will require some clearencing of the fender well. Its the width of the tire that will make u have to cut the suspension.

i run hoosier 27*11.5's and the car is lowered one inch. i had to roll the fenders and beat in the fender well up at the front near the lca. but i did not have to trim the rear bumper.
these are on a weld pro star 10" wide and 7.5 b.s. with a 5/16 spacer.

I run 27x11.5 15's on Bogarts with no issues. I had to hit the wheel well a little but it looks fine.

Are you sure that when the tire is realy moving it doesn't rub up on the rear bumper! I have seen a few 27" that rub the fender on the street!

My 27"s would only rub the back bumber when I had my LCA's on the bottom hole. At the stock height it was fine.
