15” conversion
I have a 07 base model c6 and I’m going to do the 15” conversion but I’m going to keep my stock base fenders, what’s the widest “ wheel” I can run if I do a 15?? Would a 15x10 be ok? Or will that he to wide for the stock fender

I haven't ran the 15" wheel on my C6 because I have no interest in doing the conversion to make them fit, so I don't know all of the specifics but depending on tire width used, you should be able to get away with a 15x10 with around 6 to 7 inches of backspacing and that should put you close to flush or possibly sticking out a little bit.
there is a guy who runs at one of our local tracks with dark stars in 15x10 but I think his backspacing is closer to 8 inches and his stick out about an inch or two past the edge of the fender

315/35/17" Hoosier drag radials on C4 ZR1 reproduction rims - regularly cut mid 1.3 60ft times launching it at around 1800RPM.
I almost did the same thing a couple years back only to realize that I was getting as good (and in some cases better) 60ft times than full blown race cars will slicks running in the 9s.

Unless you're gonna be making some crazy power and/or plan on launching it at 5000RPM (or more) why not save yourself the hassle and just go with a setup similar to mine?

It would rub if I tried driving with them on the street but at the track they're totally fine.
Not a clue as I've never had it on a dyno. Best ET so far was 10.069 on July 4th and I'm expecting it'll run high 9s in the winter.
