WS6 and 15" wheels possible?

I am planning to go look at a '89 TA hardtop tomorrow with a 305 TBI, auto trans, and 15" wheels. The car sounds like a base model TA but he says it has the WS6 suspension package. If I am not mistaken didn't a TA or Formula have to have 16" wheels in order to have the WS6 suspension package? Is the RPO code for the WS6 suspension just "WS6" or is it something else?

In 89 it comes with the 16" wheels. Either the wheels were swapped, or its not a WS6 car.

Yes the code for WS6 will show on the SPID as "WS6"

From 1986 and up all WS6 cars got 16" rims. I am thinking it may have also been the case in 1985.

All Formulas, All GTA's have WS6, T/A it was an option... Chances are it states "performance suspension" on the passenger Dash panel and he thinks that makes it a WS6.

Thanks for the info guys. You have verified what I originally thought. I am planning to look at the car this evening and will check the RPO's for the WS6 code to determine for sure.
