what year, make, model? And mods, ie lowered, suspension, etc...

It really helps to have this stuff in your sig. Big difference between what a CTS-V, a corvette, and a fbody have for spacing in the wheel wells.

Will 15 inch wheels clear Gen IV disk brakes?

275/17's They look real nice on these cars, just try to find some original wheels.

I run a 15x8 summit star rim and run a 275/50/R15 tire on them with no problem.
