It will depend on the tire size, but likely anything thats going to fit the 10" wheel will rub the outside... Also depends on whether the car has the stock rearend or not...

15X8" wheels, with 5" on BS will fit a 295/50-15 (etc)... Might require a thin spacer ( 4.5" to 4.75" BS is pretty much ideal for 8" wheels)...
