i have 15x10 weld draglites with 26" ET Streets which are needing to be swapped out.

What modifications are required to fit a 28x10x15" slick in there?

TIA

I run the 15x10 draglites also. With 28x10.5Wx15 E/T drags....they took quite a big of "massaging" to get right.

I had to cut part of the quater panel and "gently" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> persuade the wheel well with a 15# sledge hammer.

But my first 1.36 short time made it all worth it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I had to:

-ding the little lip of metal in front of the tire so that it pointed forward instead of towards the tire

-trim the lip of the rear skirt slightly (but it is NOT obvious that I did anything)

-hammer on the inner fender well on the front inside of the tire - this required some fairly strong hammering to get at least a finger's width there, but eventually it got there. A little POR-15 paint and all's good.

-Adjustable lower control arms & panhard rod to center up the rear

I did not cut any metal at all. My wheels are Bogarts.

so you didnt have to cut the quarter panel? ive already beaten the inner wheel well to fit my 18" wheels and tires (inside was rubbing) so i can beat some more no prob <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
ive got an adjustable panhard rod, but not adjustable LCA's, just BMR's.

i may go ahead and tryt his anyway.
thanks for the responses and keep 'em coming <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Notice that he is running a 10.5W. That's an inch wider than a regular 10.5 tire. I'm running the regular 10.5" tire. (I'm actually running the 28 x 10.5 x 15" ET Drag Stiff Sidewall tire, to be technical <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> ).

No complaints here. I had regular BMR non-adjustable LCA's, and the rear sat a little too far back (I've got a Moser 12-bolt also). I pulled it forward about 1/8" with some BMR adjustable LCA's. That minimized what I had to do at the rear skirt. I figure ~$230 for adjustable LCA's is cheaper and quicker than $500 for a bodyman and paint to rework the urethane rear skirt. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
