I had the same size tires on the same size wheels when my '86 was in prime form.

I had one of the 275/60R15 tires on the 15x10 wheels today and mounted it - just for looking. I'm surprised that it has ~3" of tire & wheel outside of the wheel well. Any thoughts?

Yes, the problem does appear to be backspacing. These have the backspacing recommended by Tire Rack. But, they are very, very different in fit than yours in the picture - which I like, btw.

Thanks. They aren't always correct on the B.S. Also, the offset is part of it as well. They are two seperate things.

32x11.5x15 Cooper Discoverer STT's on 15x8 american racing black d-slot rims with 4.5" back spacing. They rub a little on full turn, but other than that, no problems. Plan to build custom radius arms to eliminate that problem some day.
