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.

I went with the mickey thompson 1573's 26 x 7.5-15, 8 Ply. Thinking about it and measuring there is no way the 28" will fit my car, just to tall Thanks guys

i run a 26x4 hoosier on the front of mine..........weighs about as much as a piece of paper.......IMO the mickeys are a bit heavy...........but i do run 26x5" radial s/rs on the front for the street also with a 275/60 ET Street Radial I out back with no issues......it drives very well on the street.......
