Use this handy calculator. http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
Measure the gap you have between the tire and fender lips.

Re: tire size for 15x10 wth 5"

A 265 is going to look a little stretched on a 10 inch wheel .I was not aware that there was a 265/60/15 available. I ran 275/50/15 tires years ago but never on a 10 inch wheel. BFG made them but most other tire manufacturers made a 265/50/15. I have ran 275/60's on 10 inch wheels and have always liked the slightly stretched look it gave .
