I have run the 28x10 for 18 months and wouldn't change back to any other radial - traction and life . Tried a 295/65R15 et street radial (30.5") - chewed the doglegs when off throttle through the traps . Scared the bejesus out of me first time . Otherwise need to space diff back a little Tex New best ET 10.259@129.65 .

On my car with 28" tires, the tire is real close to the front edge of the fenderwell at the sill (bottom of the body). LemonWedge - Street heavy / Strip ready - 11.07 @ 120

When I raced my "stocker" I would ask for the tallest 9x30x15 bias ply slicks the west coast Firestone warehouse had, I've had more than one set that had 95.5 + inch circumference Luckily I never went fast enough to get protested or torn down in that car Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

I was on old super stock springs back then. Maybe the caltrac spring has a shorter front spring segment or mounting point? I run 29.5x10.5x15W now with room. Not much room...

I think Dodge's are supposed to have a 1" longer wheelbase. This is the 9x28 PBR
