Will these rub?
I am using C5z front 17x9.5 wheels for my rear drag setup on my C6 which is lowered all the way down on WCC lowering bolts. I am currently running 26 11.5 17 MT ET Street. Will the new Hoosier drag slick measuring 28 10 17 rub or not? I am not good with all this measuring stuff. Here are specs for MT ET Street and the Hoosier Drag Slick. I am needing to get my rpms down a little so that is why I am considering these new Hoosiers. If they will almost clear I may have to raise the rear of the car at the drag strip a bit if I need to.

tread width 9.5
diameter 26.5
circum 83
Hoosier Drag Slick
section width on 8" rim 11.3

I think they should clear but yes, you might have to raise it back up a little bit. I know 28s will rub on many (most?) C5s but I think the C6 might have a tiny bit more room back there.
