Default Who runs 28 x 11.50" ET Streets?

I've got mine mounted on the rim and I'm going to put them on the car tomorrow after work.

What did you have to do to get them to fit?

Bump stop? Inner fender? Roll the outer fender lip?

I had 28X12.5 Et streets on a my stock 16 inch rims. All I had to do was cut the bumper to make them fit. Although the rim was only 7.5 inches wide. I do sport 29X10 Hoosier Drags on a 10 inch rim. For those I had to trim the bump stop, heat it, and pound it down. I also use a 1/4 inch spacer.

bang the hell out of your inner fender, lol. The back fender flap thing rubbed when I put 28" tires on so I drilled a small hole in it and zipped tied it back. Some people cut it off, but I'm too lazy for that

I've got mine on 15" rims with 7.5" backspacing, 10" rim

I REALLY hope I don't have to trim my bumper. It looked like it would fit w/o trimming the rear bumper

but I didn't know if I would have to bash in the inner fender, or bumpstop or roll the fenders

mine are on the same size rim. It will fit, but that flap isn't that sturdy and after a day or two I noticed rub marks on it. Nothing that bad, but I didn't like it. I didn't want to trim it either, so I just zipped tied it back. Can't even tell unless you look for it.

awesome, thanks!

How much did the inner fender well need a beating?

Any issues with rubbing the outer fender well lip?
