Default Drag slick size

What is the largest slick you can fit without worries of a cut tire or rubbing?

I knows those will fit on a properly backspaced weld rim. I have 11.5's on my welds. I went ahead and just bought some. My backspacing is 7.5in and the rim is 10in wide. I had to beat in the inner fender well with a bfh for my 295/35/18's so I'm sure that helped.

I have put a 26" tall ET Drag on a 15 x 8 Convo Pro, no nothing.

But I will be going up to a 28" tall slick for a 15 x 10 rim which requires some trimming of the bumper cover, some messaging of the inner well with a hammer and possibly rolling the inner lip of the fender.

Sometimes the bump stop needs to be cut too.

I have 27's on there now, and there is over an inch of clearance to the bumper cover. So the 28's would put it out another half inch. I can't see it rubbing even with it expanding goin down the track.
