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.

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.

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.
