Slicks for 15x7 rims
What size slick can I get away with a 15x7 rim that will look good on the car with out jacking the car up?

255 60 15 will fit on a 7" and will be 0.8" taller than a stock tire. 275 will be too wide for 7" (not recommended by tire manf.)

When we first started racing we all had stock wheels (7") and ran the Hoosier quick time pro 27x11.5x15's and they looked/worked great.

Just looking for a dot slick. I wont be going to the track much but I want to make sure I hook up on the street. I am pushing around 400 hp.

Either the 27 or 28" tires I suggested will work perfectly for you then. When I was only running low 13's/high 12's and racing only 1 track and 1 class a set of those tires would last a season-street driving included. Hooking on the street is not a problem either

CLICK HERE and scroll down a bit. I have many pictures, but I think is what will give you a better idea of how they look/fit with a 10" rim. I went through some of my other photo's of all our cars at different events and could not find any that showed what these same tires I run look like on an 8" rim with any quality for reference.
