Re: need help, will 28x 10 fit ? There are many threads in dragracing about this.
I have set going on this week.
I will need to hammer in the inner front wheelwell and maybe cutback from the rear bumper cover. You will need to hammer in the inner front for sure.

Re: need help, will 28x 10 fit ? Are they w's?
I think madman ran some w's on the purple car but not positive.
I run 28x13.5x15 hoosiers on my camaro. I use adjustable panhard rod and control arms to locate the wheel though. (run 15x10 with 7.5 bs as well.
Like said the inner front will need to be massaged and maybe some trimming.

Re: need help, will 28x 10 fit ? Well, I can tell you what WON'T fit... Hooisier P295/60-15. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />
After verifying that, I measured from the outside of my Nitto Extreme P285/40R17's and verified about 1.25" clearance from the rear and front-most portions of the fenderwell.
I think 28" tires is about the most you can expect to fit without a lot of fender mods. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
I also noticed those Hoosiers and Weld wheels weighed 35 lbs. My 17" rims and Nitto Extremes (a street tire) weighed 50 lbs.)

Re: need help, will 28x 10 fit ? You runnin' this weekend? I want you to tell me how it hooked. Do you feel it killed any of your power turning those taller tires over down the rest of the track?
My brother-in-law says when you get just so much horsepower, taller tires don't hurt... only help.

Re: need help, will 28x 10 fit ? Your brother in law is correct <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
More tire size more tire contact patch so if you run a 30 versus a 26 way more contact patch <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Then you can launch more aggressive etc..
