Slicks on regular 15x6 GXE wheels???

Ok guys, the time has come for the purchase of some slicks for the car. I have the old stock 15x6.5 inch GXE steelies that came on the car and I have heard info that I can use slicks on these wheels. Does anyone know the size that I can use on these wheels and where to get them? Thanks guys.....

CORRECTION: the wheels are 15x6.5.....

Ok, thanks guys. BTW, the stock steelies are 15x6.5, so I have a little more to work with since you get +1 & -1 inch each way for slicks. Thanks SX7R

Yes.........with the 100-125 shot of N02.........

On another note, this is for some of you other guys. I found two choices. Hoosier Quick Time Pro "slicks" and the M/T slicks. The Hoosiers are a D.O.T. approved slick, but they recommend competition use only. They are not FULL slicks, they have two VERY LITTLE water lines to make them D.O.T. approved, but that it is. The M/T are a full set of slicks, but I do not know if they will fit. They suggest a 7 inch rim width, but my wheels are 6.5 in diamter. Anyone know if the M/T slicks will fit with the proper tubes? Thanks guys. I will try to get links from websites to give you guys a visual of what I am talking about.

Here are the M/T slicks: http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=156 . In the catalog, they recommend a 7 inch rim size, but I think the 6.5 rims will work with these. Anyone know?

Here are the Hoosiers: http://store.summitracing.com/partde...3124&view=1024 . These I know will fit, but I do know if I need the tubes with these. Any help is appreciated. Thanks guys...

Nice try but they are on backorder...and the 225/50/15 is sorta wide for a 6.5 inch rim isn't it?

Also, I am trying to stay away from the drag radials, I am really looking for full slicks.
