Are these rims goin to fit?

I got these rims a while ago and i got these slicks for $50 used and was woundering if ill have any rubing issues. there weld prostars 15x10's with 5.5 bs with 26x10x15 dot slicks. ive heard from others on here they dont have any issues with rubbin but i dunno if it will be different with guys with disk brakes in the rear vs. drum brakes in the rear. im goin to try them as soon as i get some more money so i can get 5 more lug nuts for my stock rims, becuz i have ARP wheel studs and at the time at work we only had 5 of the lug nuts i needed and now im waitin for the other 5 to come in and some more moneybecuz the lug nuts i have on the car now have started to strip so im not goin any further till i get new lug nuts.

but i hope they dont rub, i got on my car now 255/60/15's in the rear and the slicks look wider then the radials.

if you already have 5 of the right lug nuts, throw one of the wheels on and see if it fits up alright.

well i got some more money and bought the last 5 lug nuts i needed and i couldnt check to see if the rims fitted till i got home and i aired up the slicks and bolted everything on and i have about a good 1in or more clearence between the inner fender and bumpstops. i took it for a drive around the block and got on it and they gave me so much traction i couldnt chirp into 2nd like i normally do on my radial tires. im very happy now. one thing off my list of things to do, last thing is gettin BMR lowercontrol arms for the rear and the go to the track on the 11th.

i just wasnt sure if they where goin to fit becuz of how the sidewalls buldge out.
