5" backspacing ?
Can 5" backspacing work on the rear of a 92 RS with a 15x10 rim, and a 265/50/15 tire without rolling the fender lip or should i go to a 5.5 backspacing? Thanks for any help you can give me !!!

a 5" is really pushing it, depending on your ride height. even a 5.5 really doesnt "tuck" in there.
i like an 8" wheel my self.
