Ok, I did do a search and did not find what I was looking for. I have just plain ol 15" steelies on my project right now. I think it has 205 70/15's on it. I want to go to a wide white and very narrow. My tires right now measure aboput 27.5" tall. Do they make a taller tire than that in a wide white wall? I did a few searches on tire sites , but still no reall answer.
 
If you are running radials you would need to look at Diamondback or similar to get your answer. If you are talking bias plies, yes, Coker carries an L78 x 15 that is about 29.5 tall. That is what I am running on my 27. Here is a picture of the front 5:60s and rear L78's I am running, for comparison.

Thanks Don, just what I was looking for. 29.5 will get me where I need to be. [cl
