That'll do it lol. I'm stepping up to 325s on my next set of tires, we'll see how much more modifying it takes...

I found a work around to make it fit.

When you put the wheel on it will be rubbing the tire ... just put the lugs on and don’t tighten them all the way… lower the car down a little until it’s not touching the bump stop … this can be very close to the ground.. Then tighten them and your good to go lol

I will more the likely be cutting off the bracket for the bump stop so I don’t have to do this every time I want to change tires.

That's what I had to do w/ 10.5 slicks, not a big issue.

the mickey thompson website says the 275-60-15 is the same equivalent as the 28x11.5-15.
what i dont understand is the 275-60-15, dont rub but the 28-11.5 tire does.
any idea?

Most of the time if you clearcoat over wheels without scuffing them they will start to peel. Not sure how long it would last. To clearcoat them properly you would need to scuff them which would ruin the nice beautiful sheen that these rims have. Just my $00.02.
