Post 28x10.5 Slicks,with stock wheel wells?

Just wondering if everybody running 28x10.5 slicks,have factory wheel wells. Or have you done some mods and opened them up? Im just looking at mine on the car, and clearance is about a half inch front and back.What about the tire rise,when heating at the track? Any advice on what everybody does about this, would be helpful.

Mine fit fine once I got adj lca's so the tire is right in the middle of the wheel well. Other then that they might take some work with a BFH depending on your rim and what springs you are running

My 28x10.5 slicks fit with no modifications. I removed my bump-stops a long ago so I can't say whether or not those would be an issue.

Myself my rear is narrowed 2.5 on each side with a 5.5 backspaced wheel so pulles the wheel in about a 1/2 inch. I had to BFH the front area of the wheel well and I cut out alot of the metal inside where the bumpstop was and adjustable lower control arms are a must to center the rear. have about a inch in front and rear.
