You will have to do a little cutting to give it room to fit and expand.

You may or may not need to do some trimming around the rear of the tire on the bumper cover.

A 28x13.5" ET Street is a huge tire, though! You'll most likely need a bit of massaging (with a big hammer) on the inside of the wheelwell. I had some 28x13.5 ET Streets on my car for a couple of races 2 years ago, and it did take some hammering to get them to fit...

I thought you had to take about an inch off the back bumper corner
