Back space will be key.
I've ran 28 x 11.50-15 Mickey Thompson ET Streets on a 15x8.5 Center Line Convo Pro wheel (3.375 Back Space) on both my 79 Monte Carlo as well as my 88 Monte SS.
The fit on the 79 had no issues while the same wheel and tire combo sat a little close to the outside wheel lip on the 88 SS. (under 3/4 inch per side) This is on a soft compound bias ply slick posing as DOT street tire. Street radials with a stiffer sidewall may net different results.
The 88 Super Sport runs 15 x 8 Corvette rally wheels (4.0 BS) and a 245-60 which has no issues. Next set of tires I'll go to a 255-60-15.
Hope this helps1
