With the 15X10 and 3.5" backspace I have no rubbing either on the leaf spring or emergency brake mount. Here are some pics:

Pics looks nice. I don't mind the wheels sticking outside the fenders. That's the way it was back in the day where I was.

i run 275-60-15 on 8 inch rims now, if i put the same size drag radial on 10 inch rims it may tuck in to the body tighter. thanks, i used to run l-60-15 in the 70's as big as you could get until the n-50-15 came out

15x10
I have Torque Thrust D 15x10 with Mickey Thompson N50's on the rear. The back spacing is 3.75 in. It does stick out a little. I like the look, but some may not. I had to use a 1/4 in. spacer to clear the caliper. The parking brake bracket clears fine.
