Rear in the two most common sizes
If you want a 15x8 you need 5.5" backspacing
If you want a 15x10 you need 7.5" backspacing

Both (especially the 15x10) will require substantial grinding of the rear calipers, so take into account whether you are comfortable with that or not.


Do you mean screwing the tires to the wheels? Your application would not be anywhere near requiring that.
