Goodyear Wide Tread GT RWL tires are 15". They were original equipment on the 1968 and 1969 Z/28. Also on the 1969 COPO 9737 Sport Car Conversion.

Could it be a non z28 car with JL8 brakes which would give it the 15" wheels?

I believe you may be correct. The JL8 option included the 15" Rallye Wheels and RWL Wide Tread GT tires.

Lets play the odds here; 20k z28's and I know of 3 non Z28, JL8's none that I've seen with paperwork. One was a GM tech center car. I believe Travelin Z28 has or had one.
