i believe most 3rd gen width rear's use a 5.5" backspace on a 15x10. you can double check fitment charts from Weld to be sure. I had to cut out the bumpstops and get fully adjustable rear control arms and panhard to get the rear axle centered to stop the rubbing with 275/60s

Last I remember 5.5 puts the wheel even with the fender lip, if you want the wheels inside the fender you need 6.5BS on a 15x10

I run a 15x10 with 6.5BS and had to cut the bump stops out and trim/massage the front fender wheel wells, I also have a Moser 9" standard length, UMI non adjustable control arms and an adjustable pan hard bar and everything fits no problem.
