Tallest Slicks I can fit?

Can I fit a 29.5" tall slick under my '87 Trans Am? I know a 28x12.50 will fit, but I would like to go a little taller if possible.

Thanks,

Don

Hmmm . . . Ok, thanks.

I guess I'll just stick with the 28x12.50s

Thanks,

i've seen 30" ET Streets in the wheel well of a 84z running 10.0 on motor in bristol for the GMHPT nats.

he had to beat the living hell out of his wheel well and roll the lip a little and it looked very nice.

also i heard that he has a feature in the next issue of GMHTP. watch for it and look at his tires
