Default What happens if I put a 28" tire on my car?

I realize its going to mess up the abs or something, but what effect will it have? I'm thinking of going to a 275/60/15 drag radial, but I will still have 26" front tires. Can I do this?

i have the same drag radial tire size as you and it's gonna throw your abs light yes,but it will slow you down in mph time at the track unless you got juice or a power adder.those M/Tdrag radials are awsome i have those.

Car runs high 10's on juice, so I don't think its a problem. So other than the light coming on, I'll be OK? And it will just reset when the stock wheels go back on? Thanks!

I wondered if 28's would fit with a radial, not a bias ply..I had bias ply 28's and they would ahve hit if they grew much at all...so I took them off....i would like to hear from people with the 28" radials and how they clear...
