i am interested in purchasing some black steel wheels that are 15x10 & 5.5 backspace,i have some Mickey Thompson 29 x 12.50 does anybody know if this will fit without issues vehicle is a 70 dodge charger my leaf springs are in the stock position...thx

15x10 with 5 & a half inch back space  , is the back space normally used  , but  with a 12 & half inch wide tire think its going to be really close to the quarter lip , may be even touching    :scratchchin:
most use 295 tire witch is 11 & a half inches wide give or take with that size wheel
  although think some do use a wider tire , how close the tire becomes  , rubbing  , or cutting the wall ,   with suspension travel , have no idea  :shruggy:

Here are some shots with measurements taken from my '68. Wheels are 15 x 10 with a 5" backspace. Tires are BFG 295/50/15's.
Hope these help.  :2thumbs:
