I like it. Personally, I would probably use a smaller tire but it does look good! Thanks for the pictures!
i just needed a 28" tall tire for when im on the spray i come through the lines before at 6800rpm so these will help me out with that....plus i got a smoking deal on them!

Depends on how much power you're making and how much air is in the tire during the run. I personally wouldn't do it but........to each his own.
I like to use a wheel that is the same width as the tire. You can get away with running a smaller tire since the footprint spreads out more evenly giving you a wider contact patch. I've even run 12" wheels with a 10.5 slick like the True 10.5 guys do.

thats correct....but most of the TT5 guys run the 29.5" tall tires....and to be honest, i dont think there is many s197's on this forum that could over power the wheel and tire combo that i have prob plstang and maybe 1 more.

We did it with a 28" tire as well as the 29.5 tires. Hell....I put a 26 x 8.5 tire on a 10" wheel before just to prove a point.

the car looks awsome...nice job
shit! i ordered the 28x11.50-15 ET Streets! After seeing the pics I can already tell that they are going to stick out of the wheel well. Looks like Ill be sending them back for the 10.50s. Only reason I went with 11.50s is because I have 26x11.50-17 ET Streets on my stock bullitt wheels. Guess I should have known better about the "buldge" on a small wheel diameter. You live and ya learn I guess! Paging Jegs return dept!
wait im confused. Im comparing the tire he has on his car (28x10.50-15 ET DRAG) vs the tires that I ordered (28.11.50-15 ET STREET) and from what I understand, his are wider than mine...how is that or am I reading the stats wrong?

Am I correct that the 11.50 wheel is actually less wide and smaller in diameter than his 10.50 ET DRAG??
