Default Fitting 28x11.5?

I am sure it has been asked alot of times..but the search isn't working..
Will a 15 28x11.5 MT slick fit without too many issues on a f-body? It will be mounted on a Prostar 15x10" rim. I currently have BFG's on my 17x11 ZR1 rims, and had to do a little work to get those fit, so I figure the slicks should fit no problem.
Car currently has almost 600 rwhp and 780torque on a Mustang dyno..but will be closer to 750rwhp in a couple of weeks, so I will deffinantly need some traction. Any help? thanks

Thats good to hear. Did you have to roll the fenders?

with a stock length rear and 7.5 backspacing, i don't think you'll have to roll your fenders unless you're lowered a lot.

I am lowered an inch in back and was able to fit 325/50/15 DRs without rolling.

You will need to grind the calipers to fit Welds. You might need to BFH part of the fenderwell just like we had to in the 90's with 5.0 Mustangs. You might need deburr and hammer in the front inside lip of the fender well by the front lca mount.

If the rear is not centered well in the car, you might need an adjustable PHB.

It should be ok. I already have an adjustable PHB, and we had to BFH the fenderwell to get the 315 BFG's to fit. I will let you guys know how it fit.

I just put a set of 28x10.5's on a pro-star on a 00 Hawk, bmr adjustable lca's and PHB came in handy.. and a big friggin hammer, it has just enough clearance everywhere... went to the track today, burnouts launches top end doesnt hit anywhere, im happy!
