Michelin TB15 tires

Will Michelin TB15 18/60-15s fit on a 9x15 inch rim? Planning on using the 9 inch rim on the fronts and 11x15s on the back with the TB15 26/61-15. Been looking for a while now and coming to the conclusion that a matching set for these rims are as common as a unicorn.

Thanks for the chart. I have seen a version of it on the Michelin website. I was hoping someone would say that the 18/60-15s could be used on a wider rim than recommended.

It could be made to work, but I think it's going to look a bit odd. The section width (215mm) is 1/2 inch narrower than the 9 inch wheel width. Like you say, the choices are few and far between.
