I think it should be safe to run 5" backing on it.

I was considering getting some 15*10's myself, but wouldn't the back tires rub the fender wells ?

I don't think it would. I have 15x8 rims on the back with 4.5" of backing with 255/60's and there appears to be plenty of room.

The perfect setup as determined by SLP is 5.5" of spacing for a 9.5" wheel. This would mean 5.75" for a 10" wheel, which happens to be the exact spacing of my 18X10's...
