Does anybody know how big of a slick you can stuff under a stock wheel well on an 89 formula?

Re: Help
Without any modifications, I know a 28x9 will fit with no problems. I stuffed a 29.5 x 10.5 under my fenders with some inner fender modifications.
My car is back halved now with 32 x 14

Re: Help
is that stock wheel well with no other work, or what will fit with further ...adjusting? you can fit a 28-10.5 w under it but you will need to remove the bump stop brackets and do a little massageing, I think that a 325/50 15 drag radial will fit with the same mods, but less chance of rubbing at speed since they do not grow like slicks do
