That sounds like too little tire for that kind of width, Dave. Expect a rather
harsh ride as the sidewalls won't have an opportunity to flex. A 15x7.5" would
work, though. That size does exist but you have to look hard for it (and only
from the real racing rim vendors e.g.: Panasport, Revolution, Compomotive,
etc.)
