Wanting some 15" wheels and slicks on my lowered TA, what do i get?

My car is lower with the eibach pro kit and 9" 4.11 gear and I am wanting to get some 15" welds or something like that to mount on for track days. I don't know much about backspacing and such so I was wondering what you guys have found will work with lowered cars. I don't mind beating my fender well in, already done a little of this for my 11" . Also what size slicks should I get with them?

16" rims are the smallest that will fit over stock LS1 brakes...sorry

so i think you're stuck with 16s

You can fit 15"s with some gentle massaging of the caliper with a grinder.

you can fit 15s....Bogarts (EXPENSIVE) and Centerline Convo Pros will both bolt right on to LS1 f-bodies. you can fit the normal Weld Draglites or Pro-Stars and such too but you will need to grind down the rear calipers and use a wheel spacer in the front.
