275/60 DRs on 10" Draglite

Will it fit? There are a ton of wheel/tire posts out here but I haven't been able to find an answer.

I got a set of used 15x10" Draglites with 3.5" BS. They have 26x10 M&H Racemasters on them. They fit and look great. So great that I'd like to get another set for my "street" tires which are 275/60 BFG DRs. 28" tall tires. Will the 28" tires fit okay on the 10" rim, or should I just get 15x8".

How 'bout the front? 15x8" w/ 3.5" BS?

TIA,
Jim

Okay, here's how it went.

First, I do NOT have 15x10 Draglites w/ 3.5" BS. I bought them used and measured incorrectly. They are 15x8 with 3.5" BS. I have 26x10-15 M&H slicks on them. They fit fine.

I got another set of 15x8" Draglites with 3.5" BS and put 275/60-15 Drag Radials on them (yes - 275/60 - 28" tall). They fit fine. Stock springs, air bags (though with no air). Don't rub anywhere even on corners.
