With my car in the air and the axle hanging the 275/50/15's do not fit. They hit the jounce spacer area of the inner fender. I'm going to have to massage it most likely. I am not and will not be running spacers.

Yep with the car in the air they will hit the bump stop. But with my car on the ground they fit perfect, I didn't have to touch anything. My car is lowered 1.75". Either way, you shouldn't have to do much if anything.

Mickey Thompson's website suggests a 8.5" rim(+ or- 1") for the 275/50R15. Steve from SJM suggested this was lowballing it. Actually, more like 9.5"(+ or- 1") I would tend to believe him as he sells custom fitted Bogarts wheels for f body, and other, applications. He's been doing it for a long time. So, that gives a 275/50R15 a range of 8.5" to 10.5". 275/40R17 is listed as a 9"-11" rim width in the Wheel/Tire FAQ over at CZ28.com. Backspacing could take care of any fitment problems one would have with a 275/50R15 tire.

My 10" Prostars and a 6.5" bs with 275/50s fit perfect. I didn't ever have the car up in the air though, but I assume with the 1" less bs they MIGHT clear the bumpstop.

my buddy fit 15 x10 prostars with 7.5 backspacing with a 325/50/15 tire. he had to cut the bumpstop and whack the inside a little with a hammer.
you may have to get a panhard to center the rear.
no fender rolling necessary, he was at stock ride height.
