I ran 28x12.5 M/T ET Streets on an 8" Bogart rim with minor rubbing on my LX. I broke out with a die grinder on the outer fenderwell/lip and used a BFH on the inner fenderwells... they would still rub a bit on the street when I hit a bump, especially with a passenger.

What I wanted to point out though, is that the 12.5's actually measure 10.5 inches of tread width...

I think the 26x11.5's will work just fine on your '95... even with what you've described for other parts. What rim width are you going with sn95gt?

Eric, what backspacing are you running with the 15x9's? I don't see where you'd have a problem with the 26x10.5 ET Streets. Maybe the guy at Bogart was thinking a 10.5" slick rather than an ET Street... i.e. My 28x10.5's ET Drags are essentially the same size as my 28x12.5 ET Streets
