With your setup.. I'd look at 26x11.5's maybe 27x11.5 Hoosiers at the biggest.

You will have to trim your fenders with 28" tires. Go with the 26" x 11.5" ET Streets. ET Streets aren't going to last very long as a daily driver tire.

For street driving, there are less issues to deal with since the car wheel well is design for the 26 inch tire. Also, less concerns and problems with the MPH and RPM readings on gauges. There are some extremely fast cars running just plain o 26 inch tires. Cheers
