The whole philosophy of every ERA is that they are real cars, not hot rods that require all sorts of quirky compromises. Tire rub is one of those (un-tolerated) compromises.
Actually, I've measured clearance on my (unfinished) car and concluded a 28 inch tire will not clear - at least on my car. I didn't know if the FIA might have frame modifications to provide more clearance or if I just blew my measurements. I would like to have used a 275/60 tire if I could have - but purchased 27 inch tires instead.
