Anyone got pics of their car with 15x8 Race Stars/Slicks on the rear?

Just curious how they feel up the wheel well and what slick you're running? I'm debating on jumping on Beef's sale and I want a 28" slick but I only want 15x8, not 15x10 - so I don't have to jack with my suspension any more. All the slicks seem to be 10.5 or wider when it comes to 28" tall slicks. Will these fit ok an 8" rim?

I dont have pics but I did run 26" tall slick on 15x8 and the wheels stick out further then I like. The 10" tuck in better but require sway bar relocation kit.

Yeah, the sway bar relo and possibly LCA's are what I want to avoid. I just need a bit of traction...in the form of a 28" slick since I have 3.73 gears.

I am also curious about the 15x28" slicks. I see them in 28x9 with regular sidewalls. To get stiff sidewall, it looks like you have to go to 10.5".

OP are you planning on running slicks with your stock front tires or do you have skinnies? Just curious as I also purchased a set of rear 15x8s. I'm looking towards a 275/60 Hoosier DR but haven't made up my mind yet. I have heard/read it is unsafe to mix radials and non-radials but would like to hear what others have experienced with these cars.

I run 28" on 15x8's ill post a picture tonight. They do bulge a little bit and with more than a 2" drop it looks like it may rub a little.
