I am planning on spraying my car very soon and need to switch from my current 26x11.5x15 MT ET Street to a 29x11.5x15 Hoosier QTP. The Hoosier is 29.3" tall, has a 10.0 tread,, and an 11.9 section width. Has anyone fit this tall of a tire on their car? What mods are necessary. I have plenty of clearance in the inner wheelwells. I have removed the rubber axle stops and beat the hell out of the inner fender well. I am worried about the height of the tire hitting the front of the wheel well where it is metal. Any tips, suggestions or experiences with this tall of a tire?
Thanks
Matt
BTW- I am running 15x10 welds with a 7.5" backspacing.

 

I have the 28" ET Streets and they hit the front and back of the fender down low. I would plan on doing some trimming.

 

Do some hacking and get some adjustable LCAs.

 

Here is what it took to put 28 x 13.5 ET Streets on a 93

Thanks for the replies! That link is what I was looking for. All I have to really do now is trim the rear bumper and move my control arms a little bit.

We didn't have any issues with the LCA's.. lot's of massaging on the inner fenderwheel on the front, though! A BFH comes in real handy..

 

I have 28x10.5-15W ET Drags (13.1" section width)... no trouble with the Spohn adjustable LCA's and they are the ones with the big adjuster nut in the middle, right next to the widest part of the tire.

I would suspect you will need to do more than trim the rubber bumper cover with 29's - the 29" QTP is actually 29.3" diameter. I had to move the axle back a bit to clear the sheet metal front edge of the fender opening with 28.0" QTP's. With the 28.1" ET Drags it was necessary to take out about 1-1/2" from the rubber bumper cover. With a 29", who knows. A friend of mine has 29.5's on a 30th SS, and it took extensive body work on the fender and bumper cover openings.
