Default Offsts and 15 x 10s?

If I go with offset trailing arms, can I run 10" ralleys with 295-50-15s and keep them under the fenders on a 69?

I want that classic steam roller look from the rear...

..when i bought my offset TA vansteel told me that 10x15 wheels would fit right within the fenders, even with 295/50 tires (but i didnt try them yet...)

You'll have to find out what the sectional wideth is of the 295 tire. If you can find one under 11" go for it BUT you will have to buy a shortened rear spring and you should than go to the double offsets. No rear sway bar either.
