Default Tire wheel Combos

Can you all chime in on tire sizes with appropriate wheel sizes to fit under a 98 LS1 without major modifications. I already run 17X11 A/R TT II's with 315/35-17's for street. So what is a real combination in 15 inch for swap out at the track options. Preferably drag radial sizes. I also already rolled my rear fenders.

That are you looking for, tire sizes or rim sizes? Bogart's are the only wheel I think you can bolt on without grinding the calipers up to get them to fit... as for tire sizes, run the biggest one you can run without clearance issues. 275-50-15 should fit every car with no issues I'd think, or 275-60-15, which is a 28 inch tall will be close, but should fit as well. Talk to Steve from SJM, if you are in need of rims, be can steer you in the right direction, and make some good tire reccomendations as well.

I did a search, but did not find anything. Is there a list on wheels that fit versus wheels that do not fit, specifically 15 inches on a 98 Camaro. Maybe even a few pics of before and after cutting please. I imagine that all 16 inch wheels fit the car right?
