    Yes, a 15 will clear the rears.

    IDK as far as drag radials, but out car can eat up a 315 easily with the correct back spacing.

    I put 15”x10” Weld Pro-Stars on the rear (WS6 brakes are no different than any other V8 model) and I had to grind down the fins on the caliper.... no big deal, but required with the Welds.

    Do you want a true "slick" (like an ET Drag), or a DOT slick? A 26x10 tire needs a 10” wide wheel, although some tire manufacturers will say 8” to 10” wheel. 15x10” will need a 7.5” backspace to keep the wheel/tire under the car. 15x8” wheel will work with 5.5” backspace.

    I ran a Hoosier Quick Time Pro DOT slick, 28x11.5-15 on the 15x10 Welds with no problems - see signature photo. Inner fenders had already been hammered for my 315 Street tire’s though. A 26x10.5-15 is no problem.
