I run the same size tire on mine, and I've got them on 15x10's with a 5.5" backspace....my frame is notched, they wouldn't fit otherwise.

I will never run a 28x10.5 on an 8" wheel again. It's just too small and makes for piss poor top end stability.

I was told i would need a 6.5bs with 1/4 spacers. Do you have any pics Elcoholic?

x2 on pretty much everything said.
I have 15x8s now but want 15x10s 5.5bs.
The 12bolt will be different. If you know how wide it is someone here could tell you for sure.

Here is a 15x10 with a 5.5" bs on a stock width rear. The tire is bigger than what you are taking but you can atleast see the wheel. The tire is a 315/60 MT on a max frame notch
