Default race wheel size

I'm trying to order some wheels for the track and I wanted to go 15x10 but don't know the right size of back space to make it tuck with a tire I heard I needed like a 6' back space or a 5.5' back space, also I wanted to know what would be the best drag radial size for a 4/7 on a 2008 silverado crew cab thanks for the help in advance

If you need it to tuck and you want to run a 15x10 wheel, you will need to run 7.25" BS and the 315/60-15 tire will tuck. I am running that tire on a 15x10 with 6.5" BS and it defiantly will not work with a 7" drop.

Here is a pic of my set up lowered about 5" in the rear.
