Anyone run a 28" tall tire?
I just ordered a new set of the M/T et drags for the 7 and wondered if anyone else has tried 28's. I have them on my Mustang and test fit them on the 7 with pretty good results. I'm using overfenders so the inside body is cut out which is perfect to allow the bigger meats. If there is someone i'd like to see some pics as to what it looks like.
I'm waiting for the new tires so i can mount them on my Bogarts with the right offset.
Here's what they look like on my Mustang.....same exact tire i'm running.

I havn't seen them work in a stock wheel well that good. They usually will rub bad during a launch, but its always worth a shot. In Nopi turbo 4 class, you have to run a 26" tire this year.

28"X9" MT on my ride
I run a set of Mickey Thompson ET Drags on my 7 and it launches really well. On my stock suspended 7 is does consistent low 1.3 60' times. But fitting the tire in the stock wheel well is a big problem. Stick with the 26" X 8.5" or go to a Goodyear 26" X 9".
