The GTO fitment for RTS wheels is:

15x9 6.5 BS - http://hinsonsupercars.com/p-1412-we...04-06-gto.aspx

15x10 7.5 BS - http://hinsonsupercars.com/p-1363-we...04-06-gto.aspx

Either will be fine with a 275

The 9" is plenty big enough, lighter and probably cheaper.

I'm using a 15x 9" Weld cheapo with 6.5" backspacing. The tire is a Hoosier 27x11.5x15. The inside tire wall clears the "frame" about 3/8". The outside clears the fender about the same (not lowered). I trimmed the lip on the fenders years ago, so I don't know if it would rub or not.

Those are not 6.5" backspace on a 8" wheel. That equals to about a neg 51 mm and the stock 8" wheel is neg 48 mm so it would be so close you couldn't even see it.

With a 9" I'd like to see about 7.5" backspace. To get you in the sweet spot you'd like to be around 7.25" with a 9" wheel and you could bring it to point with a 5mm wheel spacer.

No that's a 6-1/2 on a 9" wheel

Well there ya go. That's too small of a back space for 9". The Hinson site is wrong.

It's such a shame that it's so difficult to find a 15x9 for the back of these cars with the right backspacing without having to go to CCW etc.

Yeah you have to order these wheels because they don't stock them so I have to wait 5weeks for them

I used an 8" holeshot wheel with 6 7/8 bs, no issues, tuck right up in the wheel wells.
