Default Will 28x10.5x15 slicks fit on the back of a 85 vette with 6.5 backspacing draglites??

Ive got a set of 15x10 draglites that fit the back of my 85 vette. I previously ran small slicks on them. I got a set of M&H racemasters that are 28x10.5x15 and look HUGE, i constantly hear of people putting big slicks on C4's. Is there any thing i can do to make them fit without rubbing???

you can run 30x13.50's with no problems. my friend runs 28x13.50 on his car with no problem. i am going to run 30 x12.50 on my c4 when its done . i have prefitted them and they fit fine :chevy ....no :bs

I saw a C4 with 30X12s that looked fine sitting still, but they rubbed a lot when the car launched and the rear squatted down on them, be careful!

I've got 325x50x15 (28x12x15) and they are about as big as will fit. If the chassis is working they will rub a little.
