Ok so from all my searching, I still can't get a solid answer on what the tallest DR height is that I can run with the car sitting at stock height. Right now I've got 26" but in the near future I'm gonna need 28" but don't know if they'll fit. Anyone got any insight on this?

I've had multiple sizes of 28's on my car. You may have to do some clearancing but other than that they will fit with the right wheels. 15x10 will need a 7.5" BS. a 275/60R15 will fit easier than a 325/50R15.

a 28 will fit at stock height no doubt.

I'm probably just looking to go with a 275/60R15 Mickey DR. Are you sure I wont have to trim the body panels at all? Because right now, it squats a lot on launch. The below picture is only on a 26" DR

a 28 might look like it fits but remember at speeds they grow... and you will almost definitely need to get aftermarket LCAs to center the rear better... mine with a stock LCA wouldnt fit but aftermarket made them fit fine. overall height at 100+ will be bigger than a 28 tho and you DONT want that tire rubbing the fender and possibly cutting the tire going that fast.

A drag radial will grow? last time I checked drag radials didn't grow because of the belts in them, hence why they're called radials. And I already have my suspension done. only parts I havn't done yet are the rear drag bar, k-member, and a-arms. which none of them play a role in tire position in the tire well

all tires grow... esp the taller and bigger sidewalls...

28 in drag radials should not be an issue at all. I have been running them for years with no problems rubbing. my car leaves hard and traps 121 on motor and still does not rub. As stated above though the key is the correct back space wheel and you will be fine.
