Default all the tire I can get

I have a 90 GT with 8" wheels and i need a taller tire. How big can i go with out tubing it out? Currently I am running 26x10x15 M/T Slick. Any suggestions. My friend has a set of 29x10.5x15 they look to big and I dont want to use them and let the fender chew them up.

The biggest advised size is a 28 inch. Taller than that and you'll get a lot of interference with the fender.

before just throwing a 29" tire on the car

you need to determine the affect on the performance of the car....
top end rpm ....that tire(29") will change your final drive ratio....

do you mean 10 wide tire or wheel ???

you can a 10.5 tire without much trouble

to put a 10" wheel you have to be dead on with the back spacing
and you will have to "message" the wheel opening...

i had to go with a 6.5 back spacing on my wheels....
