What is the width and offset I should buy for a 15 inch rim to use with slicks? I have a 71 lemans sport conv 455 with a 12 bolt. Also, What size slick will fit?
Thanks Brad

You can get a 28x10.5 tire under there with ease. You'll want to use an 8 inch rim minimum. I had a shop change over a pair of 15x7" Ralley IIs to 8" wide, and had them split the difference - +1/2" inboard and +1/2" outboard.

Welcome to the boards.

I have 15 x 28 x 11.5 MT streets in my 70. Fit fine, no rubs

I'd say a 4 or 4.5 rs on an 8" wheel.
