This is what i am about to order, and i am a bit worried about backspacing, as i don't have a lot of experience with new wheel dimensions, and especially trying to figure out what size tires i'm going to have put on them.

This is what i'm getting... for rear... 15x10 3.75 backspacing 5x4.5 bolt pattern

and for the front 15x7 3.75 backspacing 5x4.5 bolt pattern

for the price they are nice looking rims, at least to me. What size tires shoudl i be running on these? my 76" mav is all stock suspension and i dont' want tire rub, and don't want a short sidewall... or something that's going ot stick out of the fenders.

Thanks!

the 7's will fit with a 3.75 backspace all around fine, the 10's will stick out way far

so if i go 7's all around, what size tires should i shoot for? Looking for a decent sidewall, something that looks reasonable, not thin, and a tire that's tread sits nearly as wide as the rim?

I would go with 8s in the rear. Plenty of guys running those with up to a 275 wide tire.
