Wheelpants for larger tires?

[kubark42]

I have tires one-size up from stock (8", maybe?) and my wheelpants don't fit (or at least when I bought the plane, the wheel pants and the old tires came as "accessories".

Are there wheelpants which would work for this larger tire? I"m thinking of competing in an aerobatics competition next month, and a little extra speed could do wonders for me.

Put the old tires on.
I have found no discernible difference, pants on or off.
Not sure there is much difference between 6:00s and 8:00s on the average landing surface.

Is that in level flight or in acro? For the 7ECA in Sportsman, at the elevated dive speeds I feel like it could be the difference between easily staying in the box vs risking falling out the bottom toward the end of the routine.
