15x10 rear wheels, Anyone??

Is anybody here running 15x10" rear wheels on their 3rd gen. If so, what backspacing..etc. What size tires are you running. Are there any clearance problems?

Any pictures would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks very much for the pictures guys! This is what I like to hear.

Do the tires hit the rear quarter if you hit a hard bump or anything?

I am running 15X10 Prostars with 5.5 inch backspacing and MT ET Streets 28X13.5X15s. I had to pound in the inner wheel well in a couple of spots for clearance.
