they fit fine, most are taller 28's so they have some more sidwall, and section witch might be 10, but they have about 9inch or tread.

I ended up getting some 1.59s I think the best was a 1.57 60' running 11.1s 11.20s on the MandH 275s I posted.

This year I ran the bigger 295/50R16 MT DR ( PN 3794R 28X11.50R16).

I think they spun easier on the street, but go some mid 1.5s on them and ran a 11.04, they lasted all year still have tread for next spring, this is with a spool. There also 7pounds a tire more then the M&H. My next set of DR will be the M&H they fit better and have more street tracion. Or a 28x11.5 ETdrag or QTP.
