Default Tallest tire in the stock wheel well

Ok so how tall can i go with a slick/ET street in teh stock wheel well without trimming it? I was thinking 28" but was wondering if I'd be able to fit a 29.5 or if we'd need to trim it a bit

watch the growth of the 28's though. depending on where the center of the tire sits relative to the bottom of the rear Q-panel, i've heard more than once that it will rub at speed, like during a burnout or at the top end of the track.

yeah...you have to really watch that...adjustable LCAs are your friend when stuffing a tall tire in there
