15x10 wheels

Will a 15x10 wheel with a 5" backspace and a 275/60/15 fit stock rear end without modification? I tried search but not very good at finding things sorry.

i'm guessing you'd need at least a 2" wheel spacer ...

Re: 15x10 wheels

We have dozens of threads on this, and the conclusion is always the same: Use 5.5" BS if you need an easy fit, but don't mind them sticking out a bit, or use 6.5" BS if you need them inside the wheelwells, and don't mind clearancing the car. 6" BS would seem ideal, but there are no options. You could try 1/2" spacers with 6.5" BS, but nobody else ever does.

I know, I read the articles that kept referring to the 6 1/2" bs, but found nothing on 5". I was only curious cause I found a really good deal on craiglist and was hoping they would fit. Thank you for answering my question.
