Default 28"

Can I run a 28'' x 11.5'' - 15'' or a 28'' x 13.5'' - 15''LT on a '98 WS6?

Sure just get a 15x10" rim on the car and they should fit with BLH mods and rolling the fenders. Be careful though because Bias ply drag tires grow a lot at high speeds.. 28" tires can grow as much as 1" or more in height. if it gets cut and blows out at the big end when you are going 100+ mph it could be a serious accident.

ohh yeah.. 28" radials will fit. still will have to do BFH and roll the fenders but they will fit also need an adjustable PHB and LCA's to get those tires centered perfectly in the wells. My buddy just fitted some 325/50's on 15x10" wide Prostars on his SS. It took a bunch of hammering and he already had his fenders rolled tight fit but they look fricken wicked. now he just needs about 2x more hp to actually give those huge tires a workout. He is completely stock A4 except for a lid.
