Default Hoosier QTP 28x14.5x16? Rim width?

I did a search on these and found a little info but no info on width of rim you guys are using?
I currently run QTP 28x11.5x16 on a 16x10 rim and works ok but with the new found power I'm betting the wider tire will be the answer and would like to use them on my 10" wide rim but not sure what it'd look like. Any pics?

And I really don't want to run the L5 flared fenders, I'd much rather mini tub it if needed. BTW, my back spacing it 6.625"

I'm running these on 16x10 CCW drag pack with standard 7.5 bs. Summit has them listed as min 10" rim and max 12". They made a huge improvement for me, coming from MT 26x11.5x16. I haven't seen anyone run these tires without fender flares, with your backspace it will be close.

Is that a true 14.5" wide tire? That is crazy a 10" wheel works. They do look good though. What are the dimensions of the wheel? Did you have to tub or do any other clearance-ing?

No on my 28x14.5x16 on a Bogart 16x10 it measures tread is 12" and overall is 13" and I don't have fender flares either.
