I'm trying to figure that out as well. I'm trying to get a bigger tire under my 1990 Chevy, lowered 3/4", not C notched.
I'm looking at the Hoosier 29x10.5Wx15s, the Hoosier websites says to use a 8-10" wide rim. They have 11.0" of treadwidth, but 13.2" section width.
Fitting a 10" wide rim would be tough w/o it sticking out past the fender. I'm goign w/ a 15x8 w/ 5.5" backspacing.
I have a couple friends w/ 28x10.5x15 ET Drags on 15x10" wheels and they fit, the tires have barely rubbed the leaf springs every now and then.

The 29x10.5Wx15 Hoosiers are the same dimensions as the 29x11.0x15s, just different label.
Right now I just have 28x11.5x15 ET Streets, I might just switch over to the ET Drag.
