I went with the M/T Sportsman S/R 26x6.00 R15LT on my 71 mounted on 15x3.5 Champion rims. Pretty sure a 28 requires fender mods to fit without rubbing and probably hit the rail at full lock.

Don't think a 28 will fit . I have 26's on mine . I think if you could find a 27 that would work. I have to agree, same here on my Demon.

You can run the taller(27or28) tires on the Duster by raising the torsion bar adjustments up with the proper wheel offsets Which limits the front end travel amount upwards Not sure about the Demon front fenders

I wish the was one easy answer to this question, there isn't What is good for me may not be what you like the best Tell us more about your car, class and racing style Do you like two foot wheelies or two inch wheelies I use to help a friend race his NHRA 340 Demon stocker E/SA that red lighted a bunch with two foot wheelies with 90/10 front shocks, we put on a set of early Monroe stock 50/50 front shocks that I had and that stop the red lighting and lower the wheelies to 2 to 3 inches on the left front, he hated that and went back to his way He red lighted on the first round at the Winternationals that year BTW, I tend to tune for the best reaction times and best 60 ft. times

I Want two feet wheelies!!!! No, honestly looking for consistent 60' times and reaction times. With the car about to get paint, I really don't want to hack up the fender at all, so I think I answered my own question when that was an option for the 28" tire. Car is an auto, mid 11's, SS springs, good shocks - nothing too crazy, I'm probably over - thinking it.

Here's mine w/ 165R15 tires (25" tall) up front and 28x10.5 slicks on the rear. No motor in the car in the pic so not real good for comparison. I'd use 26" tall tires up front.
