Question Need help finding BFG-like tires for a 10" wide x 15 Rim

Hi guys;

I need to find tires asap I can buy that would fit my rims as I'm deciding my drop stance this week.

My fronts are 8.5 x 15's (the last picture), and I was going to buy 255 / 60 / 15 BFG Radial TA's & going with 3" drop spindles and a 1" drop coil (4" total drop & 27" high tire)

My rears are 10 x 15's, and I was going to go with 275 / 60 / 15 BFG's & go with a 4" drop hanger & shakle and remove the overload leaf (5" drop total & 28" high tire)

But my guy at TireTech.com says my rims are too wide for that rear tire size and he doesn't have anything else exect a 305 drag strip tire.

I did see a guy up here that ran 235 - 60 R15s front & 295 - 50 - R15 rear but the tire height is only 26" and I think that might look silly even with my drop...I don't know though, I'm getting frustrated as I've been dealing with truck problems all week.

Help & suggestions please!!!
