Nos 28 n/a 26. How much power you making? My personal preference is a 275 50 15 on a 8 inch rim for more baggage on the tires.You get more gearing with the 26 also.

deff a 26 for n/a but if spraying you need the 28 for the extra mph. it also depends on if your auto or m6 and gearing etc...

I had no abs issues on a 26,now on a 28 i did,i went with 28s because 26s imo looked to tiny, but the 6s were more than enough

i don't mean to thread jack here but im wondering the same thing but my car makes 502rwhp through an m6. I also have 4.10s. I was trapping 122 before the heads and intake got ported so I think im gonna need a 28' tire. I'm about out of gear as is. what tire size should I go with and not worry about rubbing issues on the street?

I run a 28 with 3.42 rear end with my ss4000 and doubt I'll go to a 26 if anything I'll just change the rear gear
