What steel wheels for MT et drags 26/15/10?

I have a chance to get a brand new set of Mickey Thompson ET Drag Slicks 26 x 10-15 For $150 I was wondering what size steel wheel I could fit under the car as far as back spacing?

find a set of those 3rd gen 5 spokes......they will fit on the rear.

Thats what we used to use...they stick out a little but they are cheap and easy to find. 15x7

for a 8" wheels you probly want a 5.50" BS

3rd gen rally wheels will be lighter...they go for about $25 a pc. for ones in pretty good shape and a 26x10.50 slick will fit fine, so I know an E.T. street will work
