I bought everything new and the only reason I got the 28" tires was because of the 456's and going through the traps I would bounce off the rev limiter in 4th and by the time I threw 5 I was like 5 feet from the line. Other than the grinding which was very minimal the tires just clear the fenders about a half inch front and back and I had to pursuade the bump stop bracket on one side. As for how they hook, wooooohhhhh I think with a burnout, 20lbs ,and a good 5500-6xxxx launch I will pull the wheels on the street. I couldn't believe how well they hook. I would do 2 burnouts on the et streets and dump it at 3k and still have to pedal it 1st& 2nd and my car maybe has 320 to the tire. They are a little big but love em so far can't wait to get to the track.

4.56's with 26's are good for about 115 mph +/- at 6,800 rpm in 4th gear. I had completely deleted my bump stops and did the BFH mod to fit my 11x17's. I am hoping a set of 28's will bolt right up without any more modding. I am still looking for that killer deal on a set of Race Star's.
You didn't need to roll your fender lips to fit the 28's? Are you stock rear height? I am stock springs/shocks with the hose mod on an S60 (the height of the S60 cancels the drop from the hose mod) so basically stock height.

What kind of tires are the 28's and are you running a scattershield? Once I find my Race Stars, I am thinking full slicks for mine, but I am a bit worried that I am on the stock bellhousing. I didn't want to go to a scattershield until I need to go throught the trans and replace the clutch. Right now the trans and clutch is perfect.
