I think you might actually want a 7.5" BS unless you are running a narrowed housing. You increase the width of the wheel 2" from 15x8 to 15x10 and you need 2 additonal inches of back spacing to try to keep it in the fender.

I would run an et street or hoosier quick time pro. 26/11.50/15 thats 10" of thread to the floor. Since you have the extra wheel well space maybe a 28. My 02 cents. <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

28x12.5x15 ET Street fits perfect on a 15x10" rim.
But with 6.5 backspacing, the tires will stick out like two inches... And when you nail it the body will come down on the tire and cut it up.
