Anywhere from a 275/50/15 to a 26x10.50 to a 28x11.50 in the past. Lil massaging needed w/ the 28's.

whats you opinion about a 28x10 would that need a lil massaging because of height or was it the width that caused the need to massage

I ran a set of 28" x 10.50 MT slicks on a set of factory turbines on the back of my old 85GT. I didn't have any rubbing issues that I can remember, it was over 10 years ago.

That would depend on the b/s of the wheel. On a 5.5 it should be ok. If it does rub, it won't be by much.
