I would highly reccomend against a tire of that size on stock axles. especially the 30.
A 10" wide wheel should be enough. This puts the outer bead 2" further out, bringing the tread of the tireout an inch further out from a 8" wide wheel with the same backspacing. And people run 12.5's on 3.25 to 4" bs wheels all the time.
so in short, a 15x10 with 3.25-4" backspacing should work fine, and while you will already be putting your 30 to the test, the less backspacing you have the more your front axle will hate you, especially everything from the ball joints out.
