Default Tire size?

I really what 15x10’s with a 4.50 BS… if I do can y’all who have this show me how far out past the fender it is. I don’t want it way past.. but a tiny bit ok.. I will be running 28x10x15 Goodyear’s

I understand that I can do 15x8’s with a 4.50 BS with 28x9x15 Goodyear and be tucked…

but I just want some 10’s… so please show me for those of you who have 15x10’s and what tire you have.

Please define “perform”. I’ve owned the car for 50 years and have never known any limitations.

I'm pretty sure A LOT of race prepared Vettes have used wheels 10" and much wider.

These guys were auto crossing their C3’s at the good guys show in Del Mar and were doing well.
