without mini tubbing oir anything, i think it can be done with a 7.5 backspacing

I have 15x10 prostars and they stick out 1" with a 7" backspacing (maybe 6.5, been awhile). The Bogart's would probably fit and they would know the answer. With a little more backspacing then they would probably look like my Weld's. I run a 13.5 Hoosier QTP. Haven't been to the track yet but I'm sure they will rub the back bumper once the swell up and I will probably have to cut them some.

I have some 15x11 Hole Shots on mine, fit pretty easily after I ground off the axle snub and mounting bracket. Should be able to do it with the right back spacing

The tire you had on would also make a difference. I've seen people fit a 10.5W tire (and they're right at 11" wide), but it requires some hacking. I've got a 28" drag radial on 10" Bogart D-10s and I had to do some hammer work to the wheelwells and cut off the bump stop.
