12.5" slicks Figured I'd post here and get quicker replies.
Will a 12.5" slick fit under the rear with a 10" rim and 7.5" backspacing?
Or will it require rolling the fender and possibly a BFH.

It depends on the sidewall height. A 12.5" tire is equivalent to a 315. MOST 315s do require some fender rolling, bumpstop removal, etc.
The only need I see to run a slick that wide is either A.) You have a bazillion horsepowers or B.) You have a poorly setup suspension.
No reason you can't get the traction you need on a MUCH smaller tire IF the suspension is dialed in properly, which is FAR MORE IMPORTANT than the tires.

The reasons why I got 12.5" is because the 11.5" is not recommended for a 10" inch rim?

Here is the 11.5"
Starting to wondering if I should exchange the 12.5s.
I have no rear end in my car right now, still have till next week before it ships, so I can't test fit them.

So I should just exchange the 12.5 for 11.5 or 10.5? I cruise on the weekends so I kinda wanted a DOT tire so I don't get pulled over for that.
Also the wheels are 10.275" weld rts

Because 11.5 wasn't recommended on a 10" rim and they don't make a et street 10.5"
In 28in tall.
I will be running 4.10s possibly nitrous. Was recommended for a 28in tall tire.
I think I'm going to exchange for a 10.5". But 28" or 26"?

What do you mean they don't make a 10.5" et street? What have I been using the past 4 years? Why do you want a 28" tire? Once again, you don't have enough hp. Gregrob was spraying a 200 shot on a LE trickflow headed 355 and had to downsize to a 26" tire because 28 was too big and he just bogged. Who is giving you this tire advice?
