I would go with a 15x8 with around 4 in back spacing, maybe 4.5. You can put that tire on them without a problem. I think you might have rubbing issues with a15x10..

IMHO a 10" wide wheel is way too much for that size tire. It would fit best on an 8"-8.5" wheel.

I have 15x10 torq thrust II deep dish wheels on my Regal with 3.75 backspacing and 295/50r15 tires. 255's are way to little for a ten inch rim. Anyway, I have plenty of room between the tire and frame on mine without any spacers, but it sticks out from the fender a little. You may be able to get away with a 4in backspace, but consider getting air shocks to lift the rear end up a little to prevent tire rub issues.

hello, i see.. i like rimes that are a little wider that the tires..no problem for me, im just airshock them on the rims.

i found a pic of that tiresize on internet last night.. this tires is 255/60/15 and i think the rims are 10" wide on the white car.

and the blue car is my oldsmobile before many years ago, this rims are 8" wide, i was told by the old owner... but i want wider rims

the rims i want to buy is this type ,just in 10x15 size...

i found a pic of 205/60/15 on a 10" wide rim on this site.. a little to much stretch maybe... but if i go for this tire dim maybe the wheels would be a little small to the car...cause the car are big.

Now i found pic with 265/50/15 tires on 10x15" rim i think i will go for that size on my olds, so the next question is what offset must i use on 10x15" rims on my olds?

I just want to make sure I'm reading this right. You want a 15 x 10 rims on a gbody front and rear with a 255/60R15 on all 4 rims.
The 255/60 is really only designed to fit a 8.5 max. rim trying to make a tire that narrow with only about 8" of tread fit a 10 inch wide rim will a safety issue. And having a tires that are too small for rims that are too wide for the car that won't fit them properly would look ridiculous, off coarse this is only my opinion.
If your goal is to have your rims stick out of your whellwells a couple inches and the tread of your tires stick out less than an inch and to have have issues turning and whellwells hitting your tires over a bad bump then I would say you are right on target.
I would suggest you go with a 15 x 8 rim and maybe put the tires on those and possibly something narrower in the front.

Hello, i have found out now i will go for 265/50/15 on all 4 rims around, my car is an 1979 oldsmobile delta 88 royale ..im not shure this is a g-body car :? but i will have 10x15" rims most .. do you think it will go outside the fenders?

i will go out and check on the car and see some closer if 10" wide will be to much.
