Default Narrowed rear and backspace choices

I have a moser rear narrowed 2" each side, I will be getting race stars 15x10, I know I need 5.5 backspace but was wondering if getting 6" or 6.5" would be better/ or work to get the tires tucked in.

It would tuck like your looking for, but depending on tires and rim width it can lead to rubbing.

I was thinking 275/50/15 or 295/55/15 mt et streets. Right now I have 17x11 TT2 with 5.5bs, if I lowered it the edge of the tires would hit the lip, I didn't want any chance of that happening with the drag tires, if I can have it so it's just inside the lip would be good, just found out that race star dosnt make 6"bs, just 5.5bs. I'm thinking I would need 6"bs for it to be tucked like I want.

A 6" bs would tuck it in 1/2" and look good but only problem is I'm not sure how many wheels come in 6" bs though. Champion does just depends what ya like

Yea I will be going with champion wheels, would like a wide tire for sure, realy leaning towards a 295, I just hate to get a wide tire and it rub the fender lip with 6". I've been looking and can't find a 2" narrowed rear with 6" backspace. I see a lot of 3" narrowed cars with 5.5" bs running spacers, figured it should like just like there's at 6.5"bs with mine narrowed 2".
