Default What size tires can I run?

I've got a set of 15 inch WELD rims for my 68 Camaro and want to run as fat a tire as I can shove in the rear wheel well.

Here are the specs.

The rear Rim's are 10 inch with a 3.5 inch backspace. I have a 2inch drop in the rear spring.

Currently I'm running a 235.15.60 and it looks like I've got a lot of room to spare.

Front tire is a 195.15.70 and I have about a 2.5" drop into the front spring.

I'd like to have a little more rake to the car as well just to give it a little meaner stance.

I run a 295/50/r15 BFG T/A on the rear of my 67 Camaro. Tire diameter is 26.7.
