Iam looking at a set of 10.5 x 15 Goodyear bluestreaks i think they are 29.5 tall. Iam going to put them on 15x6 cragars will they fit on the rear of a 69 camaro

Don't know if this will help, but I know you can fit a 275/60/15 in a stock wheel house, on a 15 x 8 rim. A 275 is around 28 to 28.5 tall and around 10.5 to 11 wide.

10.5" wide slicks on 6" rims? Why?

Here my COPO with 15x4 on the front look at the deep offset of the rim it looks like a 15x6 .I have a set of thoase front rims dated 69 and rears are 15x6 thats was the old owner told me .I think the rear tire was http://i411.photobucket.com/albums/pp198/SPIKEYZ0/72164896-SLD-001-0018.jpg 10"wide but i dont know about the height .I was told this was a comon thing to do little rim on a wide tire for the sick cars for traction
