RTS 15" and Hoosier 28" QTP..will it fit? looking for a strip/street rear for my TA. I really want the 15" rts's and heard great things about the QTP's so wanted some in 28" flavor. I suck when it comes to tire/wheel combo's so figure I'd ask here. I have a stock ride height and stock rear brakes setup. Will this combo fit with no rubbing and only minor grinding of the calipers? Anyone got a pic of how it sits on the car? and lastly, anyone recommend a vendor here since I'd like to keep my business with a supporting vendor.
Here is what I'm looking at on summit.
15 in. x 10.275 in., 5 x 4.75 in. Bolt Circle, 7.5 in.

IDK, who all sells them here but I bought mine when they first came out about 2 years ago, IIRC from Jim's Racing Tires. There may be other vendors on here that sell them, IDK.
I am running 325/50 ET Streets with stock springs and the heater hose mod and I had to roll the fenders, cut off the bump stop (the part that touches the rear NOT the sheet metal above it) and use a BFH to beat in the sheet metal inside the rear fenderwells. The only thing I had to grind were the fin looking deals on the rear brake calipers. My wheels are 15X10 also.
I ran a 26X10.5 15 QTP before and didnt have to do anything except grind the brakes to get the wheels to fit.
There is a thread where someone asked about this same thing and there are pictures that people posted, you might want to look there for ideas.

Thanks for the insight. I'll start digging to see if I can find that thread.. I did try to search but couldn't find that particular setup. I'll look a little bit more

I have the same wheels and didn't have to do any grinding!! Bump stops have been removed and BFH mod on inside of left wheelwell. I'm switching to the MT DR 295/55/15 thats 27.8 tall and 10.9 wide so I'll probably be rolling the outer lip for safety. I'm using BMR 1" lowering springs on rear. Also got my wheels at Jim's Racing Tires in Balt.,Md.
