Adam,

I have run 15x8s with 4.5 inches of back spacing on 28x10.5 slicks with no rubbing. I just picked up a pair of almost new 29x11.5s on 15x8 rims with 4.0 backspacing ($100) and they don't fit. Will be swapping out wheels for a pair of 15x10s with 5.5 Backspacing and they will be fine. This is on my 68:
