they'll fit fine with no rubbing at all. some people have a little trouble with 28 inch tall slicks....but nothing a hammer has stopped them from rubbing anymore.

my 28x10.50's tuck underneath the car quite nicely ...although I did have to beat in the front of my wheel wells. They rubbed due to height, not width. 27" or 26" tall tires would have fit with no hammering. My suspension / ride height is bone stock.

I have some 26x11.50x15 QuickTime Pros that fit perfect. Not sure of the backspacing though, bought the tires and rims as a package deal. No problems yet with it hitting or scraping anything on the tire
