Default Drag Tires

I can pick up a set of ET Drags for $90. They have 12 passes and about 1/2 tread left and still tacky.
My question is that they are 28x10.5, so will they fit under my car, with 1" lowering springs?

They would probably fit with the right backspacing, but unless you have 4.56 rear gears, they are going to be too big of a tire for your car. Stay in the 26"ish size and you will be better off.

Agree, the 28's will be too tall and slow the car down. I ran a set, and went back to 26's.
