325/50r15 on 10", 6" BS?

Anyone tried similar?
I assume it requires rolling the fender lips, hammering the front inners, and cutting the bumpstop bulges.
I'd be using an adjustable tubular panhard, tubular trailing arms, and starting with Nitto 555R, probably try M/T later.
Would 5.5" BS be necessary to avoid mini-tubbing? Wouldn't 5.5" BS stick out past flush? Is this just flat-out exceeding the available space? If so, how about 295/55 M/T on 6" BS?

Seen it done with 6.5" and a lot of cutting. 6 would work but the tire bulge would be slightly outside the wheel opening.
