Default Weight transfer / FT tire size ?

Does going from a 26" front tire to a 28" offer a significant impact when running 28's in the rear.
Current setup is MT sportmans 15x5.5x26 on weld 15 x 3.5 front & MT RADIALS 325/50/15 REAR

Unfortunately the rear tires are tucked to the point of just touching the wheel well on a launch with the gas, so the rear cant go any lower, hence the need for a taller front tire so I can raise the rear a little without rubbing or doing a mini tub/narrowed rear.

Yeah I think I have the clearance, I really wanted a big tech/racer to give me reason to install/buy the 28's
