Default biggest slick on 15 x 10 7.5" backspacing???

I plan on ordering a set of weld draglites 15 x 10" with a 7.5" (rear) backspacing for my 2000 camaro m6 and just wondering whats the biggest size tire/slick i can fit on them? i know i will have to modify my fenders if i go with a 28" slick, but the 26" hoosiers arent getting the job done.... im around 550rwhp 520tq...

i was thinking a MT ET Drag 28x10.5 or 11.5, or a MT ET Street 28x12.5

I just installed a 28" x 15 mt et street on my car. I believe they are 295 in size which fit after I beat the inner fender in about a 1/2 inch. Thats a pretty big tire I didn't want to have to roll the fender if I went bigger. Hooks awesome.

you can fit a 28x10.5W with alot of hammer work on the inner wheel well above the lca and removing the bump stops. you shouldnt need that big of a tire though unless you are making ALOT of power. just going with a taller tire (more side wall) will get the job done.
