Is anyone using 28" and were there any fit problems? what was the backspacing on the rim?

Any particular brand better than another?

Thanks

Steve

 

I was running a M&H Racemaster DOT slick measuring 28.2" tall and 11.2" wide with about 10" of tread. Just about a perfect fit, only slight rubbing in the front of the rear inner fenderwell on both sides. This can be taken care of with some smacks of a hammer, lol

Also I was using a Weld Draglite 15"x8" with 5.5" backspace. No spacers at all.

15x10 rims, 28x9 slicks, 5.5 backspace fits OK. I could probably go to 28x10 when I burn these ones off.
