26"x11.5" ET Streets. Will they fit?

I've been scanning craigslist and classifieds for a while now in search of some 26" drag tires, and just came across this pair for $100.

will an 11.5" tire fit easily enough? I really don't wanna roll fenders or cut anything at the moment. I will need to find a set of 15" rims anyway, so I can find whatever backspacing I need.

Also, maybe a dumb question, and I don't quite have the time to search right now, but will 15" rims clear my rear disks?

Sweet! I just see most guys going for a 10.5" wide tire. I wasn't sure if that was the max easy fitting width.

What rims? Size and backspacing? I picked up these tires today. The PO said he ran them on 10" rims.
