![Question](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Got a chance to buy Goodyear GDY2791 D5 28x10x15's slicks cheap.
Will I need to modify rear arches to fit?
please don't reply "search", tried , nothing specific for this tyre

Also a hammer. You will have to beat in the front portion of the inner fender. May have to trim some of the bumper, theres a sharp edge on the rear bumper and dont want to cut a tire. I didnt have a issue but I took the time with the lca and got everything lined up and measured.

I have 28x11.5x16's on my 95. The only place they have ever rubbed it at the rear where the bumper cover rolls around. They rubbed on the end of that about an inch. I have to trim about and inch or 2 off.

I've seen 28" tires fit on some cars and not fit on others without extensive hammering and cutting the bumper cover... interchangeable parts still have allot of variations.
27" Hoosier QTP's seem to fit everyone without clearanceing any parts of the car

Thanks all,
I have got adjustable LCA's,multi hole relocation brackets, adjustable panhard, and QA1 coil overs. Not too bothered about cutting the rear bumper, was more concerned about the inner wheel well, I had to grind the side off the bumpstop slightly to get the 26" Hoosiers in as the sidewall was just rubbing. I run 14.5psi normally. Sounds like a lot of hassle for a $100 saving:-(
