some final pics of the 28x10.5W tire on the car These show the sides a bit better. I have about 1" of clearance in the front (I trimmed the inner part of the fender lip for more clearance at the bottom) and pulled back the TA bumper cover with some zip ties.
I have some threads in this section about what it took to fit them in the wheelwells

WOW! It looks like they fit great! That's about how my 28x10-15 Hoosiers fit. That tire should stick solid.
I'm fighting a few suspension gremlins, but with the rear QA1 12 way adjustables I should be on my way to sticking as well.
Keep us update on the track results if the snow ever melts. I feel your pain.

Well, hopefully you BFH'd all the right spots, and that patch panel is the only needed alteration. I am looking forward to your results so I can begin the W fitment planning as well.
Side note: I tried on a set of 28x11.5x15's before, w/o using the LCA's to center the tire in the wheel well, and rubbed a couple nice holes in the rear bumper cover, the wide part at the bottom, so it clearanced itself nicely
Good luck man and definately post up resutls of fitment and 60'.

7.5" BS.
The fat part of the bumper cover is what I pulled back. No way that part will get hit by the tires when they grow.
The fat part of the front quarterpanel area I cut off and rolled back just as a precaution.
