Default need pics of cars running 15x10 with 295/50-15 tires

I have just installed offset trailing arms and looking to use a 15 x 10 rally wheel with 5" backspace and a BFG 295/50-15 tires. If anyone is running a setup like this i need to see a pic so i can be sure the tire doesn't stick outside the fender well.

BTW... it's going in a 72.

Thanks
jim

This has 295s 15" on stock ralleys and had to use a spacer 2 1/4"
Thats what I had lying around ,1 1/2" might work to clear the t/a s

I just got my rearend/offset trailing arms back together last night and mounted 275-60s on 15 x 10 Convo Pros with 5" BS. I don't have pictures, but can confirm that they stick out about 1/2" past the fender.

Things going great here, Not much left to do but sand/paint. Engine/drivetrain/suspension redone. Thought a 383 would be enough HP but no, going to drop a big block in her next.
