Re: fast five
I have those same wheels. 15x4 only come with 1.75 backspace. My rears are 15x8's with 5.5 backspace with 275/60-15's. I have no rub on the outer fender lip. The only mod I did was beat in the seat belt pocket (thats the lower front bottom of the inner fender) I had to remove the belt recoil to remove the insulation behind it and cut the plastic flap off the back of it. Then I reinstalled the recoil so it would work properly. You may have to do this if you want to use the belts. 15x10's with 6.5 backspace will work but you will need more mods. The bump stops will need to be cut off.

Re: fast five
This is what I had to do to make them fit.

And I didnt have to do anything with the seat belts. It really just personal prefrence. You can go 15x8 if all your looking for is a 275 tire to put on, 15x8 might be the right way. I went for the 15x10 becuase of the better tire options.

Re: fast five
You can put on a 295/50/15. There wider then the 275 but there also shorter then the 275 .

Re: fast five
My 275's are about a half inch from my lower control arms and about the same at my lower front inner fender on 8" with 5.5 bs. They were touching my inner fender until I used my BFH. My opinion on the 295's would be on a 10" rim. If I put 295's on my 8" I would have to do a little more beating and possibly move my LCA's in some.
