m and h makes a 28" tire. its a DR though...
my setup is a 6 spd with 4.30 gears, i plan on running those m&h's, just because my 275/45/17's are a little too small on the street..

It can be done...it all depends on the RPM you want to be running.
I have run all of the following combinations
M6 4.10s and 275/40-17
M6 4.10s and 315/35-17 (120+ MPH)
M6 4.10s and 26x11.5-16 ET streets (120+ MPH)
A4 4.10s 275/40-17 (115 NA...ineffiecient convertor)
A4 3.42 275/40-17
A4 3.42 26x11.5-16 (117 NA)
A4 3.73 275/40-17
A4 3.73 28x11.5-15 ET Streets (119NA and 126 on 150 shot)
A4 3.73 27x10.5-15 ET Streets (122NA and 130 on 150 shot)
A4 3.73 28x10-15 Hoosier Drags (expecting 140 mph or so)
What kind of RPM are you wanting to run at highway speeds, trap speeds expected, and track tire size?

i run that in my 93 6 speed i just dont like it i seem to run out of gear to fast im going to either switch back to 373 or try a 390 but a taller tire would make it more enjoyable to drive on the street
