Default 28x12.5 or 28x13.5 pictures?

Anyone have pictures of 28x12.5-15 M/T ET Streets, or 28x13.5-15 ET Streets, and what it took to fit them? My radials are about done, and hard to find, so Im going to switch to an ET Street. Thanks.

28x12.50 et streets, 15x8 5.5bs wheel

I already had the outter fender lip cut back and the inner fender beat in with the bump stop removed from when I had my 325/50/15's on the car.

I posted in your other thread, but you didnt respond. Do you have any pictures of it from the rear? Or does any one have pictures of any other 28x12.5-15s?

Thanks!

Sorry I didn't respond, I tried to get some pics the other night, but it got dark before I could get any good ones. I'll get one for you today or tomorrow.

I put the same tire Skinnies has (28X12.5) ET STREET on my Bogart 15X10 wheels and they fit fine without cutting anything. I already had my inner fender area banged in for my 315s.. but i did not cut the bumper or quarter panel lip. Must be the Bogart offset..not sure what it is, but all tires seem to fit with these wheels LOL. I have since switched to a 28X10.5S ET DRAG which is slimmer and hooks even better. I might try to fit a 10.5 W...but i know i will have to roll the fenders and cut ****...not feelin that.

Skinnies, tire looks real good, im surprised they fit that well on 15X8s

I finally mounted these 15x10 Bogarts w/ 28x13.5x15 ET Streets. They do fit in the wheel well. However, I'm gonna' need to break out the BFH to make room for tire growth. The sidewall has approx. 1/2" clearance so basically it's the inner most tread area that needs more room. I'm guessing there's about 3/8" (or less). My car has the heater hose mod also .. that 1/2 - 3/4" would help a lot right about now

Not very good clearance pics but this is all I have right now. I'll get some more later this week.

28W + stock length rear + stock offset Bogarts, 28W's are basically like a 28x13.5 ET Street or 28x11.5 ET Drag:

did you have to cut or trim anything? did you have to roll the fenders? Im looking to fit that W tire on my Camaro with 15X10 Bogarts. I currently have 28x10.5S ET DRAGs and have a lot of room still.

I'd just leave the 28x10.5S's on there, it's not worth it. I did roll the fenders but it's all very tight.

I'm putting a set of 28x10.5S's on my Formula soon, my friend has been 8.27 with them.

Default More clearance pics

Pinky finer in the last one ....





For those who don't know .... the clearance issue is in the very front part of the tire ... inner tread / fender well. So, picture looking up from the front part of the rear tire .. toward the inner part of the fender.

Anyone know a good diamond cutter? .. lol
