Opinions on 4 speed with OD

My dart runs a 25.5" tire. The absolute largest I could fit would be around 26.5, and it would rub at ride height, let alone with some compression. I've moved my rear end back about 1/2" to make enough room for some tires that are available in a~27" height though. A 28" absolutely will not fit, even with rolling on my car. I'd have to clip the front edge of the opening.
That would have been excellent in the first post because the more information available there is the quicker you can get an answer. Just saying, not bashing.
Different size wheel wells on different cars create different outcomes.

An example is a Duster which can take a 28” tire and if anyone wanted to go to a 30 inch, there is a little metal work to be done in front of the tire. Some consider that a big deal in ether work load or they don’t want to ruin the car in that fashion.
