widest tire on an 80 z28

i was wondering if i would be able to fit a ten inch tire on an 80z28 without the car being tubbed or anything. Plus what would the back spacing be and what size tire could i fit on it. Thank you

use a 15X8 rim with a 4.5 backspacing and a 275/60.
Or a 15X10 with 5.5 and then grind the outer quarter lip at the top about 1/2 off and they will fit without air shocks.
I like the 15X8 best.
