Default Which Mickey Thompsan front runners to go with?????

Ok so here is my issue, I have a 94 Z28 Camaro with strano's 1.5" drop springs in the front and I'm not sure which front runner to go with. I have read to go with the 28" 8 ply all though using a tape measure 28" inch doesn't seem to look like it will fit all though I'm running a 28" mickey thompson slick in the rear. Should I be going with a 26" 8 ply mickey thompson front runner? I would like to order these tonight or ASAP. Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks Steve

You can run the 26's but your geometry will have to be corrected.
