I put the same tire on a set of 15x8's and just by looking at them I don't beleive they would go on a set of 15x10's.

30's will work, but 31's would be even better. The tread width should be the same width of the rim.

darn, that means I have to buy atleast 2 tires...... I actully opened up the other 3 boxes (LOL) and found out I have bigs and littles. two of the rims are 10" wide and the other two rims are 8" wide so I guess all I need to do right now is find atleast two tires to fit the rear.
Les- 255/70/15's arn't those kinda short? I need a tire thats going to be atleast as tall as my 30" tires I have on it now because I have 4.11 gears! I'll have some pic's up maybe tomarrow. ------------------ 71 SWB Stepside, was a 250, now is a 402 Big Block with 4 speed and 3.73's 72 LWB 4x4 350 4-speed 3.08's posi wearing army olive drab green (SOLD!) 68 BURB 50TH LOOKALIKE with built 350 4-speed 4.11's and posi

255/70/15 are 29.2" tall.
your 30/9.50/15 are roughly 29.5" tall. these measurements vary from brand to brand on the actual height, but are very close. I have 31" on a 3.07 rear.  ------------------

275x60-15 tires would fit the 15x10's pretty good, and with some 255x60's up front, it would look pretty mean! Be prepared to spend though, the 255 tires will proably cost $80 or so, and the 275's 90+. But who cares, it will look cool

BFG also made/makes? a 285/70/15 in the radial t/a. Specs would be: approx 11" width; 30.7" height; 7.85 sidewall height. This would fit your req's pretty close. To keep symmetry w/front & rear proportions use a 225/70/15 on the front(a 235/70 would also work)& those specs would be: approx 8.85" width; 27.4" height; 6.2" sidewall height. The 11" rear div. by 10" wheel= 1.1" of tire/per inch of wheel as does the 8.85" front div. by 8" = 1.10" tire/per inch of wheel.
