28x10.5 W how much actual cutting will be needed in that corner inner fender well? any rubbing issues?
I've already done extensive clearancing for the 28x10.5 standard which clears fine,but looks like sidewall clearance is the only issue on that front corner..thanks in advance

Re: 28x10.5 W Joe, I've seen a few 4th Gens at the tracks running 10.5w's. They all had cut out the inner corners pretty much all the way out. I talked to a few and most of them said they rubbed a little still on tight turns but were ok in a straight line.

Re: 28x10.5 W Hey joe...
I run the M/T drag 28x10.5Wx15
It def. took some "massaging" of the wheel wells to make them fit.
We cut some metal off each bottom corner and wrapped the poly around. Along With some "Gentle" massaging (15#sledge hammer) to the inner well.
But they are def. worth the effort...
I haven't had anything worse than a 1.40 since I started using em'

Re: 28x10.5 W I ran these also. W's grow more then regular slicks do. They grow about 1.5" I just took these off today and put some 29.5 x 10.5" slicks. These things are huge, tire height is 29.9"!
