Alittle help needed to an old question please ?

Yes another wheel and tire question.I'm a newbie here and i've searched the site but i'm still don't have an answer.My question is, i have a 92 rs and i want to put new wheels and tires on it(they are 16's now going to 15's) I just wanted to know if i put a 15x10 wheel (old school)with 4"backspacing and a 265/50/15 tire on the rear will it rub on the frame ? I don't mind if it sticks out pass the fender allittle,i just don't want to rub the frame.I want to stick with a 15x10 rim(W 4" BACKSPACING) because of the deep dish look, I could go down to a 255/60/15 tire but i'm not sure if the rim is to wide for that tire? what do you guys think ???? THANKS FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME !!!

Re: Alittle help needed to an old question please ?

If it's going to stick out 2" from the fender,should i change the backspacing from 4" to 4.25"or 4.50" (to pull the rim inward) or will that make it rub on the frame ? I really wanted to use a 15x10 rim but i don't want it to stick out 2" . If i can't get a 15x10 rim to work and i go to a 15x8 rim should i change tire size also(from a 265/50/15 to a 255/60/15) and can i still use a 4" or less backspacing ? THANKS AGAIN FOR ANY HELP YOU GUYS CAN GIVE ME !!
