28x12.50 et street
Roger that and 5 1/2 backspacing. Here are some pics I took of my truck with 28x12.50 et's on it. I dont know what your set up is but I gained MPH and 4 tenths when I went to a 26x10.50 from a 28x12.50. I won't be able to run them when I spray because I am going through the lights at 5800 rpm now with the 26x10.50. I will have to change gear ratio or use the 28x12.50's.

I have 28X12.50's with 5" of backspacing and they fit good. Stick out about an 1/8th of an inch at the tread and the sidewall is probably an inch. There are pics in my gallery with both 28X12.5's and 4" of drop and 26X10.5's with 2" of drop so you can gage for yourself. When going to the 28's I also went from 3.73's to 4.56's.
295 drag radials fit nice
