anyone with weld draglites please help

I am gonna buy weld draglites for my car and I m really not sure what back spacing to order. I have 28x11.50-15 et streets which fit an 8 or 10 inch but i want the tire to be inside the fender well so should i get the 8 inch and what back spacing or will a 10 inch rim fit? I have a 9 bolt disc rear will I have problems clearing the calipers? any pictures would be a help

I use 15x10 rims with 5.5 backspace. The rims are about 1/2" from the park brake cable bracket. You can't tuck the rims any farther under the fenders without going to drum brakes.
