hey man nice 15" rim selection.. good tire wrinkle. anywho your probably gonna need 6.5" backspacing on the rear rim with 5x4.5 bolt cirlce pattern on a 15x10" rim. ok tires.. uhm probably go with 26x10.5x15 drag radials or slicks.. any wider you'll probably need tubs and other good stuff like that.

Check on summit, they have a wide tire selection and decent prices.
