9" wide slicks?

Yeah Mickey Thompson e/t drag slicks 28 x 9 -15 they should fit I. A 10 inch rim fine I'm sure right?

Get the 28/10.5 & get it over with.

9" wide slicks?

Yep. Don't forget, the ET Drag slicks width (unlike the ET Streets) is listed as the tread width, not the overall sidewall width like most tires.

28x9 ET Drag:

• Measuring Rim: 8
• Sidewall width: 10.8
• Tread width: 8.6
• Overall diameter: 27.3
• Circumference: 86

So they are approximately equivalent to a 275/60-15 'metric' sized tire.

They'll fit yes, but I'd go wider personally. 8.6" of contact patch isn't much.

I'm running a tire significantly wider than that (28x13.50 Hoosiers, but measure 28x11 at tread) and it doesn't rub.

I used to have M/T ET Street 28x12.5 on mine with no problems.
