I have a 98 Trans am, I put some 28 x 10.50 15 on my weld 15x10 wheel on the car I cant even fit a finger behind the tires at the plastic of the body. Anyone running these and if so what mods to do so.

Well if you'll talking about a 28x10.5x15 M/T ET Drags then yes you will need to do some pounding in the front inner fender well and remove and cut your bump stop mounts off clean, plus you'll rub a little on the back bumper which you can just cut off that little peice of triangle plastic there as well, I ran that and now i run a 28x11.5x15 ET Street, the differance is the section width and the tread width.

ET Drags-section width 11.70"..tread width 10.00"

ET Streets-Section width 11.10"...tread width 8.60"

Hope this helps....

Yes I am running the M/T Slicks. It is a little to close. Any one make a 27" slick.

Rear shot with the 28x10.5x15S M/T ET Drags.


Side View with the 28x10.5x15S M/T ET Drags.


Rear side view with the 28x11.5x15 M/T ET Streets.


As you can see there isn't much of a differance except for about a half an inch or so...and the fact you don't have to beat the crap out of your car as well.

I have them on mine:





Had to use the LCA's to center the wheels in the wheel wells, also had to take an air hammer the part where the frame rail ties in the front fender well to move it back about .5" so they wouldn't rub going down the street. M/T DR's
