a 15x10 should work well with the right backspacing. i think you would want 5.5 inch of backspacing for 15x10s. 15x7 should be around 4.5inch. 15x8's use about 4.5inch.
i'm running a 26x11.50x16 m/t et street tire on my spare 16x8 irocz rims and they fit fine.
a 275 would fit on that 10inch wide rim. could try a 295 series tire..but might need some inner fenderwell work which shouldnt be too much work..just minor pounding if at all necessary. i think i heard of guys running 295's without any work at all

28x10.50 slick here with 15x8 with 4.5 bs on the weld pro stars...fit just fine. a little pounding on the inner wheelwell was needed though.
