I cut my bumpstops a while ago when I had Pro Stars. I also BFH'd the front upper part of the body where the tires can rub. It's the same spot you have to BFH on a 5.0 Stang.
I am running 8 ply Sportman DOT's since my car is kinda heavy. I have 4 plys for the Pinks Camaro since it's 400 lbs lighter.

Anything fits with the right tools. I put a 28x10.5W on a 9.75 Bogart under my car a year or so back w/o minitubbing it or going w/ a narrow rear.

i just don't know if I want to go with 5.5bs and have the tire stick out a bit or go with a 15x10 with 6.5bs and hope I can open up the wheelhousing a little more or get away with a 1/4" spacer. I have cut the bumpstops off and welded in flat steel, and have offset LCAs along with beating the front lower section of the wheelwell also.

I can PM you his e-mail if you want to ask him about it. He ran a 10" Pro Star w/ a 7.5" bs

I know I've had 3rd gen Camaro friends run 28x10.5's without major clearancing... You can get there. For a stock length 3rd gen rear, you would run more like a 15x10/6.5 or 15x10/6.0 backspacing, just have to research it on places like www.thirdgen.org.

I've been on thirdgen for years and no one runs drag radials on that site in that size. Or if they do they never reply to my threads. Typically it turns into a quick talk about slicks being better right away. The accepted size everyone quotes is 15x10 with 5.5bs which leaves the tire sticking out a little like cars from the 80s had them outside the wheelwell. I'd like to see if there is more room inside the housing to tuck in the rim some more. 1/2" or 3/4" would have it closer to where I'd like to see a tire on this vehicle.
