Yep, the only wheel that is a direct fit is Bogarts, Centerline does have one that fits but they don't look good and stick out from what I've seen. The tire you listed above is a 28'' tire. Expect to do some pounding in the wheel well and possibly a touch of trimming to make them fit.

Unless your running some crazy amount of gear with the nitrous, I think that the 26" ones will work.

From what I've seen, the centerline Telstars fit without grinding. At least on LT1 cars. Even the rears were fine, and IIRC both cars have the same rear brakes. And they now make them in the correct backspacing (15x8 5.5" backspacing).
