Default 28's on a T/A?
Sorry for the "another one of those threads" but before I drop the money i'd like to know what i'm getting into.I'm about to order a whole set of Weld's and tires for my 2000 T/A and had a couple questions on some MT ET Streets. I've searched and came back with mixed results so I'd like some definate answers.

-on a 15X10 rear wheel with 11.5(275)width tire...can I go with 28' talls without rubbing? I'm stock height suspension....I keep hearing T/A's dont have as much clearance as Camoro's......

-also...If I am to go with some 315's or 325's instead(unlikely)....I'll need a BFH, fender roller and cut my bumpstops.....anything else to get them to fit without any rubbing? I have relococated LCA's if that helps.....

any info from experiance would be appreciated...thanks

Galen's got 28" tires with Prostars on his TA. Adjustable LCAs and PHR, and they're fine.

You should only need the BFH and cut bumpstops to get 315s to fit.

Just think of how tall you'd have to be to reach up and pull those doors down.
