28x13.5x15 what brand?

You can run a 28W/325 DR/28x11.5 ET Drag/28x12.5 ET Street with 15x10/7.5's without minitubbing.

twin turbo 383 lt1, if it was my car I'd run those tires and then get narrower ones next time. If those are ET Streets, they are are as wide as 28W. They will stick out a bit. Take some pics.

its was a 94 camaro z28 befor the knife and what the hell would you guys do? are the tires to close on the inside, i cant **** them in anymore so what would you do? a mini tub. and are they going to rub? the turbo setup is about done in 3 to 4 weeks at most and i need this thing to hook leaving the gate on full boost. i got everthing for the suspession i just never ran 15" rims with wrinkle walls

what looks terible? the clearance on the inside. i dont think they stick out that far. imo but can i run 1" spacers at the track and put in 3" studs so there is enough of the stud left. then the clearnce would be bigger on the inside. but i hammered the inside as far as it will go. i have to start cutting to get any more. i cut the rear end stopersout on each side that opened the inside up a little. but give me your opinion

i have those same sized wheels, in a weld alumastar, but have 3" cut off each side of the rear. it tucks in nicely and i could slam a 10.5S - no reason to go wider unless you wanted it for appearances.
