It's only a 28x12.50, I've clearanced for a 325/50/15 before so fitting this tire isn't a problem.

that does look good.

I had to do a lil work to get the 15x10's with 7.5" back and 27x11.50x15 Hoosier QTP's to clear (remove bump stop and "Big F-n Hammer mod" where inside wheel well gets smaller in front) but 30 minutes of work is all it took and the car looks sweet.

I originally had some 28x13.50x15's but was not wanting to trim the body around the wheel wells for clearance.

Did you have to trim the body around the wheel wells for that set up?

The car is filthy, last time I drove it was in the rain and it's covered still. The other night when I took the pictures it was raining outside so I couldn't go wash the car.

Nope, doesn't work like that. You still get a $600 car with a fart can and three wannabes in it, trying to get some sort of display, or at least a rev out of you.
