Assuming you're talking about a 15" tire here, a 15x7.5 or 15x8 would work very well with a 9" slick.

Would I then be able to then go with a wider tire if I wanted to? Or is 26x9x15 good enough? The car isn't that heavily modded yet, but has an ST3500 so traction is an issue. Headers soon and then head cam package.
Thanks for your help
