Once the skirt is painted you will never know it was touched.

Are you running a stock width rearend? I am getting a narrowed reared, and want to run 28" but I am thinking they can tuck in better then that. Massage the inner well, correct BS and get it inside the lips, call it good.

Yeah, stock width. I had all kinds of problems fitting the tires in the back of the wheel well. What we did was clearance the back as much as the front. I will tuck the tire in a bit more this week. Once that is done all should look good. As they sit now, the tires are in at the top of the lip. It's just the bottom of the wheel well where they stick out.

i was about to say the same thing
with adjustable lcas there is no problem running 28s
you just have to move the tires forward in the car a lil bit
thats why i got the adjustables because when i run nitrous i wana get some 28s

i am running a stock width 12bolt - i have 28" m.t. drag radials with a 15"x10" wheel and a 7.5" bs. all i had to do to make them fit was to grind down the bump stop a little. no fender rolling or wheel well massaging require. is it just cause i have a radial vs. the slick or what?

Mine did not fit well at all. Maybe a difference in cars. I took it to the track once and they were rubbing the bumber cover hard enough to almost wear through. Adjustable LCAs did cross my mind but there would still not be enough room for me.
We did the cover and inner fender mod and now all is great. You will not be able to tell the fender was touched. I also have enough room to run a 29.5 if I ever need to do that. All in all I am very pleased with the results.
Guess I am not as lucky as the ones that have not had a problem.

Here is a pic of mine.
The first time i put it on the dyno it rubbed some of the plastic off the rear bumper cover, but other than that they fit great.

i have a moser 12 bolt also and 28" m/t drag radial. but my wheels are the 15x8. i didn't have to modify ANYTHING. only brake calipers for the weld wheels of course. also had 28x9 et drags on the car before. as pictured below.
the only pic i could take was w/ my shitty camera on my cell phone.
