If you look close at the blue truck on the left it shows how the 15x10 6" BS look from behind. Had to use 1" spacer and grind calipers to fit on disk brake. On a truck with drums they are a full inch further in because no spacer is needed. Also those slicks have a 13.5 section width so using smaller wouldn't stick out as much. If you are OK with them sticking out that much you could just order 5" BS and not have to use spacers, or a 4.5 BS and not use spacers or grind.
I bought the slicks used just to see if I liked the 29" height and was able to cut 1.72s NA. They only held to 1.99 with a 50 shot. I think if they had been new they would have hooked alot better. My next ones will be 10.5x30x15 so I can hook a nitrous pass.
