Re: what size drag radial
What's the backspace on the 15x8" Draglite? Typically you would use a 5.5" BS, and that should leave the inner edge of the tire about 1.5-2" from the inner fender liner. Where is the tire rubbing..... sidewall or tread? The fact that its a 28" tire isn't helping. Do you need a 28" tire, or could you work with a 26" or 27" tire?
im not sure what the backspacing is but i had to grind on caliper for them to fit
they rub on the very top of the sidewall i don't have to have a 28'' tire but i don't know how a 26 0r 27'' tire would look or what size that would come out to
if you know that a 26 or 27 tire would look good let me know

Re: what size drag radial
the sidewall is probably rubbing the inner wheel well right above the lower control arm. it can be fixed with a hammer. doesnt take much, just a few whacks that no one will ever see.

If you get a wheel with the correct backspace, it should not rub. I have a 15x10" wheel with a 7.5" BS, and 28x11.5-15 QTP's and all it took was a bit of hammering on the inner fender liners. With a 5.5" BS 15x8" wheel, you would have 2" more clearance from the inside edge of the wheel to the inner fender liner than I have.
