Exclamation Buying MT ets/ with Cregers

I am looking at a set of MT 28x10x15 ets, but the real question is, they are mounted on a set of creger soft 8 (the cheap ones) The wheel measures 15x10 with a 4 inch backspacing and an -38mm offset. now I looked at the rim/tire guide and I couldnt figure this out, but before I buy these I wanted to know if they will fit, or if I would have to roll the wheel wells out, and mini tub the car? I think 28" should fit, but with a 10 inch wide tire, I am not too sure about that wheel off set, and backspacing stuff. Please help...

What is gunna make it not fit? is it going to stick out too much, or is it going to rub inside? is it something I could fix with a different rim, and if so any size ideas??

the back spacing on drag wheels like pro stars is 7.5. if you run a 4" backspacing you will need a narrowed rear end.

So a different set of rims, with more back spacing would do the trick? The rims from creger are only like 40.00 a piece, so if its something I could fix right there, I would much rather go that route. So would you say I would need 7.5 in backspacing?
