Default Prostar 15 x 8's with 255/60 or 27" tall

I've been searching for pictures of camaros with 15x8 prostars with a 27" tall tire and havn't had a lot of luck. I'm looking at getting 255/60/15 mt et streets but i wanna see what it will look like first.

The being 27" tall is kind of important: Currently im ending the quarter at ~6400~ rpm at 120 mph with 4.10's and 315/35/17 555r's. I have the N20 set to shut off at 6200, therefore im finishing my run on motor, and being a bolt-on motor, theres not a lot of power up in that rpm range. So i need to bring that down and I think 28" would be too tall. Or maybe it wouldnt. And i dont think 5th gear would be worth the time it takes to hit it.

Anybody got pics or opinions?

You must be mistaken..... in reality, you had 28's that you wanted to SELL to me. Not that you ever suggested I run 28's. IMO, 28's are gonna hurt my bottom end and not be worth the payoff on the top end of the track. But thats why i started this thread to get others' opinions. You have never actually run 28's at the track. but what do i know.....
