the biggest you can go without rubbing badly or anything is a 245 maybe a 255.

HissingCobra has a 79 and he put 295's in the back on 15" wheels, BUT he had to use an air bag on at least one side to keep it from rubbing. Backspacing plays a lot of it too.

On a 10 hole 15x7??? The tire and wheel have to match.

on the 7" 10 hole rim, i dont think it would be safe to go over a 255 tire, and would personally go with a 245 tire. i just got some new wheels and they came with tires (not of my choosing) and they are 245s on a 8" wide rim.
