15X10 wheels with 5" bs fit on 68-72 elcamino? I did the old tape a string to the inside of my uncut lip with a net tied to it to hold it down. Then I measured to the face of the drum and I had 6" on one side and 6 1/8" on the other

I guess it will depend on what size tire used but ideally a 5.5" BS is a better fit with a 10" wide wheel.

You will probably have to trim or roll the fender lip. You need 1/2" more clearance.

I bought my fronts first (convo pros) and when I went to order rears centerline told me that they only make the convo pros 15X10 with a max of 5" back spacing or I would go with 5.5 bs like the convo pros so I would like to stick with them. And I plan on running 275/60/15s mickey t D/R should measure out to be 28X10s.

I think you'll be fine with a 275/60-15 tire on a 15x10" wheel. I know that same size tire on an 8" wheel with 4" BS clears easily.

Thanks Bill! I fugured I would see how tight that was with a 28" tall tire to see if I could go 30s if I ever need to.

I'm running convo pros on my elky with 275's. I just have the 8.5" width wheel I think, I know its not 10" for sure.
