If you want a 10 inch wheel in the rear with a minimum of fuss, you want to run a pretty high offset... like 17x10+40 for example. I think Broadfield ran 18x10+45 with square tires and no pull....

How much power are you putting down? I HIGHLY doubt you'll ever need a 10" wide wheel. Please don't tell me you're bone stock.

Are there any 15" performance tires made that will fit a 10" wide wheel?

AFAIK you want to stay close to the factory offset if you want it in the fender, but 10" is pretty big so you might need to roll your fender. also depends on tire choice.
