28x11.5 slick, center the tire with the LCA's. All I had to trim was the inner part of the rear bumper cover where it stuck out a little. Where it flaps over to the inside at the very bottom.

sorry for the newb ? but which tires grow? and what is the benefit or it? i thought running a 28" tire is generally what most street cars run?

i wasn't aware that trimming the quarter was needed for a 28" tire? i have at least 3/4" front and rear with my 28x12.50 et streets, same dimensions as your tire. i've only been up to about 110 on the tires though (untuned new motor) and not a hint of rub. we'll see in a few weeks on the dyno though i guess.

Different wheel/tire combos need various amounts of clearancing, sometimes none. Body styles different too, it's different for a Camaro vs. a Formula (I've had both).
