28" tall slicks on a lowered car?


Ive got a m6 with 4.11 gears so i was told id definitely need that tall of a tire.

If its a tight fit,what exactly do i have to do to get it to fit right.
Any help,tips,tricks are appreciated.

You've been lied to.

You can easily run a 26" tire with 4.11's. Im running a 27" with 4.33's, you dont really NEED 28" until your having unbelievable traction issues and you need a huge sidewall, or you have 4.56's. Ive been even thinkin about stepping up to a 28", but theres no way you 100% absolutely need a 28" with only a 4.11 gear
