Default Lets see those Hoosiers QTP's.

Okay, here is my setup:
15X10, 7.5 BS, Weld Draglites. (Current tire 26 X 10 ET DRG)

I would like to run a Hoosier QTP 28 X 13.5
Is this too big, or should I stick with a 27 X 11.5 or maybe a 28 X 11.5???

Please jump in here guys. I am not afraid to do some 15# sledge massaging to the fender wells. Post a pic if you got one too. No more drag slicks....the cops are wise to me!!

Those are 28x10.5x15 Hoosier slicks would equate to 28x12.5x15 ET STreets.

-15x10's
-7.5 backspace
-no spacers in back
-minor cutting to rear bumper
-deburred front
-minor BFH clearancing in wheel wheel up front where the tires can rub.

I've got some pics of 28x13.50 QTP's on 7.5" backspaced prostars. No great pics, but you can get an idea anyway.... I was able to accomplish fitment with a 12# sledge

Thanks guys. I was really worried about getting the 28 X 13.5's on. It looks like a good combination of careful planning, and extreme violence should get them too fit.

Well, in my infinite ability to flip flop, I just ordered a set of 28 X 10.5 Hoosier Slicks. They have a 10.3 tread compared to the MT ET Drags with 10.0
I just dont want to give up the bite of slicks, especially with the new tranny combo.
