yes they will work. they won't tuck in as nice as a 7.5 BS but they will work. Acording to the wheel design you may need to grind your rear calipers.

this is a 15x10 with 6.5 http://formula95.ls2.com/GreenTA/IMG_2224.JPG

(Sorry to hijack) 95 Formula - I love your vehicle!

I have a 96 Green Formula hardtop M6 / 4.10s - what brand / make are those rims? I just bought a set 2002 17 by 9 WS6 rims and put rubber on them (thinking I could not get a 10" wide 15" rim to fit in the back) but yours looks great! Did you need to grind any on the rear brakes?

OK, done drooling at green car... Let me know!

They are weld drag lites and yes some grinding was needed to make them fit. Nothing like you need to on a ls1 car but if I remember corectly I had to take some of the "fins" off.
