I don't think you have enough backspace. I have 10 x 15 wheels with 5 1/5 inch backspace and 275/60R15 tyres just fit.

With 5 1/2 inch backspace, a 10 inch wheel is centred in the arch with about an inch clearance either side. If your springs are a bit saggy it gets closer as the tyre moves up and could rub going round corners. Wheels are Wheel Vintiques steels, the Cragars are long gone. Fronts are 7 x 15 with 4 inch backspace and 235/60R15 tyres.

thanks mick as always simple is better. all the roadrunners i really like tend to have painted rims with or without hub caps. your so close to an 11s quarter with a very nice car.my car is taking shape in the garage section just cant decide on the wheels.
