Re: 28 inch tall tires on sport coupe

28" skinnies fit when you're going straight but they hit while turning. My front skinnies are 27.5 and they still rub on the inner fenders. Good thing I don't have to do many sharp turns.

Re: 28 inch tall tires on sport coupe

my 28" front skinnies don't hit at all on my camaro but I removed the inner plastic covers/fenders so I'm not sure if that matters or not.

Re: 28 inch tall tires on sport coupe

It could be that with my tubular A-arms and no steering stops have allowed the steering to turn sharper than normal. I do have rub marks on the rear of the inner fenders where the tires have rubbed. Never had a clearance issue anywhere else inside the fenders.
