Yup you can fit a 29" but it is going to take some trimming on the front and the rear of the fenders. Its not a job for the faint hearted as you have to cut fender which is painted metal, and if you dont do a good job it will look like crap. When you fit the 29's also remember that big of a tire is going to GROW quite a bit on the big end

You'll have to do some hammering inside the wheelwells also... The section width of the 29.5x10.5 is pretty wide (can't remember right off hand exactly what it is). I ran M/T 29.5x10.5's on my car for about the last year it was together. I'm narrowing the rear end now, and doing a semi mini-tub to tuck them up underneath the car now...

Excatly how much bigger is a 29x10.5 over a 28x10.5W? I made a 28x10.5 fit on my car, will a 29 go on easily, or is there still work required?

29.5 is pretty big Camn, Chris has some on his car and he had to do some surgery on his car. I've seen Hoosier 29x10.0's on cars, but you might end up cutting your ground effects.

Here is my measured tire chart for Mickey Thompson and Good Year:


As you can the 28x10.5-W is actually .7" wider than a 29.5x10.5 tire, however the height/rollout of the 28x10.5W is less or the tire is shorter.

Put it this way, the 28x10.5 will fit with no modification. The 29.5x10.5 you WILL need to trim the bumper and bang the fender well. The 28x10.5-W will fit with no bumper cutting but you will need alot more inner fender/frame hammering than the 29.5x10.5.

I set my car up for 29.5x10.5, I would need to hammer some more to fit a 28W tire on my car. I am currently running the GoodYear 30x10.5 because the actualy measure the same a 29.5x105 MT, I like the GoodYear compound better.

I would like to see some pictures also. I just found out this weekend that my 28x10.5x15 MT are big enough for my 150 shot. I run out of gear by 1000-1100' mark. I do NOT really want to go backwards to 4.10/4.11's.

here are some pictures of the work required to install a tire that tall.

click on 30" drag radials.

we also rolled the fender lips and did some cuting and welding above the front LCA mount.

Nice - looks great. Thanks

But you need to account for tire growth with a 30" tall slick, too...

A radial tire won't grow at high speeds like a bias-ply tire does.

In any case, it takes some surgery to fit a big tire like that...

Since my 28"s fit fine with not much banging and cutting the bumpstomps, why does they extra 1" cause so much cutting?
