who runs 295/50 15 tire and what rim size?

Not getting the answers i am looking for. I have a set of 295/50 15 tires to mount to the rear of my 92 camaro. I am ordering a new set of wheels 15x10 but need to know what offset or back spacing i need. does anybody run this size tire now? I am not looking to do big mods to make them fit. I do not want to cut out bump stops. roll the iner lip a little ya sure. Dont tell me oh you cant or 265 or 275 looks better. these tires are going on my car I know it can be done. looking for some one that has done it. I believe 5.5 back spacing will work, but not 100% sure. Not worried if they stick out just a hair. as long as they dont rub. Can you help me?

I've got 295 x 50 x 15's on my '86 IROC. Did no mods at all. Only rubbed when I had car LOADED moving from NY to FL, and only when I hit bumps in the road. They do stick out a little, but I like the look. Back spacing is 5.5, I'm pretty sure

I'll check and see if the pics I have show the wheel/tire setup and let you see them. I'll let you know either way.
