the size numbers are deceiving. these tires bulge the sidewalls on 15x12 wheels.

i don't have your # but if you can get pics via text i can send you some dimension pictures of tires in question.

Yes, they do. 10s look comically squeezed. But 10s work well per Hoosier.

They make trucks with the same bolt pattern as your Vette right?

Look for used 4x4 wheels if you need 15xWidexCheap.

That's the problem with trying to find used slicks. Either they'll fit in my fenders but not over the brakes, or they'll clear the brakes but will be a couple of inches too tall for the fenders.

Most Steel Rims I See have a concave Shape on the inside of the rim. there are some wheel builders that can use a Flatter Shape and some will clear a 12" rotor Caliper. most newer aluminum rims are all Flat and Most will Clear. so CL for some old Centerlines. 15's are not in Vogue and can be found Cheap

15" wheels will clear the calipers but available used slicks are usually taller than 25" which is really my limit on the back. (The front will rub the inner fenders at 24.5") I guess I could downgrade the brakes and go back to 13" wheels.

24.5" tall 15" slicks are really common in the FWD world, you can probably find some used somewhere. And FWD people can go 10s and 9s on them so RWD people definitely have no excuse.. lol.

M&H makes Slicks for the 8.5" rim Outlaw Series, they run Low 6's Last I Looked. Hmmm Might have been Low 5's

Looks like new is not a problem, but used ones have thus far eluded me.
