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.

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.
