Default fireball and others inside here.

Kenny H said that you ran a 28 inch tire. I wanted to run a 28x10 tire on my 2001 ws6. I have 15x10 with 7.5 bs for them. can i run the 28 without modifying the wheelwell?

Scott ws6,
I had to modify my inner wheelwell a little and cut off the bump stops. 28x10x15 Goodyear slicks on pro star 15x10 with 7.5 back spacing. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Good luck with your set up. <img border="0" alt="[angel]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_angel.gif" /> Keep us updated.

seems that the problem arises if you run a 15x10 wheel...I run a 15x8 and have no clearance issues

What are the bump stops??

My car is lowered 1", but it won't be like that for long, I'm getting HAL's installed soon...

I orderd the 27" Hoosiers for the back.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I had the same problems as Coach. I had to trim the rear bumper fascia and do some clearancing in the inner fenderwell (removed the bump stops, etc). They are still rubbing a little on the bumper, so I'm going to do a little more clearancing there.

28x10x15 Hoosier slicks w/ a 15x10 Prostar (7.5" back spacing).

Is it the width thats the problem here, or is it the height?

I saw a pair of 28's on a friends car a few nights ago, and he had to trim the bumper....

Still looked damn good though
