Unless you are going for air shocks and rims sticking out of the wheel wells a -44 offset on a 10" will not work that will be about 6.75" off the drum pushed outwards, but at least it wouldn't require a frame notch.
15" x 8" with 3.75"- 4" BS or close to 0 to + 6 offset usually work best on stock set ups

Well if you like the look of having 3" of tire sticking out past the quarter panels then you might as well get some N50 15's for tires.
Be aware some states might require extended mud flaps so you don't kick up debris to the cars behind you.
If needed I think these were also popular in the 70's..
