Anyone have 10" wide wheels on the rear of a 3rd gen?

I am finally ready to make the wheel tire purchase. I cant tell for sure if a 15 x 10 wheel will fit on the rear or not. With a 5.5" backspace on a 15x10 wheel and a 295/50-15 tire I think I will have about 1/2" clearance between the spring and tire. On the fender side the tire sidewall will be even (just under the fender lip) with the wheel lip on the fender. This is if all my measurements are accurate.

If I go with an 8" wide wheel and 295/50 tire instead of the 10" wheel, I should have an additional 3/4" of clearance on both sides. I don't want to use the 8" wheel if I don't have to.

On the front I am planning on 15 x 8 wheels, 4.5" backspace with 245/60 - 15 tires.

I did a search and found a lot of 2nd gen info, not much for 3rd gens. Show me what you have on the 3rd gens.

I really doubt it will fit , the best seems to be an 8.5" rim , possibly with a 17 or 18 " wheel & a lot less sidewall buldge a 10" would fit?
