are you sure they are nine inchs wide, most 15 inch wheels especially welds you will need to grind the cooling fins down on the calipers.

usually a 15x10 w/ 7.5" bs clears with some grinding, so I'm gonna say...maybe, it would be the same as 15x10 w/ 6.5, and I have seen those on some LT1 cars.

like said earlier are you sure it's not a 15x8 or 15x10. I don't remember weld making a 15x9.
