Default smallest rim for stock car

what is the smallest size rim i can put on my 2000ss? i was told to use a 15 but will that interfere with the brakes? i would like to get a decent rim/tire setup for the track....thanks

I would think 15 to but after you said that thing about the brakes it would interfere. i run 16's with kumho slicks and it works fine for me.

Plenty of guys run 15s. It just depends on the wheel manufacturer whether or not they'll fit without grinding the calipers for clearance.

Fit without grinding: Centerline: Convo Pro, Warrior; Bogart wheels
Fit with grinding: Weld Draglite, Prostar, probably others as well.
