28'' Slick for a N/A 396 LT1?
1) cars with 28" tires wont have a rake unless the car is lowered in the front end.
2) 15x10 7.5"bs is the ONLY size rear wheel that fits right on a stock width rear. it will fit great and not stick out. there is some clearancing needed as said above.
3) its enough tire to go 9s all day.

I'm running a 4.71 gear...but I also take the car over 7000...closer to 7400. I hit the limiter at 7500 last trip to the track at the traps so a drop alittle in gear may be needed seeing how I plan on having more hp after the summer.
another pic to see the fitment of the 28x10.5w and the rake of the car

this was stock springs with no spring rubber. But the front was also a couple inches higher than it is now. This was a 28x10.5 non W tire.

Well if its a great deal buy it and if you dont like them or they dont work out then sell them. I hate doing things twice also but there is really no way to know unless you try it. Is there anyway you could borrow them before you buy them?
I just fit my 15x10's with a Hoosier QTP 28x11.50 yesterday... Quite a bit of grinding and I have to cut out the bump stops and bang a little bit here and there, but over all it came out GREAT... and I did NOT have to trim the bumper cover... I have about 3/4" clearance on both the front and back of the tire... (I had to se my adjustable LCA's to get them there though)
This was on a camaro too...
