Default 29.5X10.5X15, what rim size, back-spacing, & how much narrower?

Plan on running a 29.5x10.5x15. I will probably end up buying Wolfe's mini-tub kit if I dont fab up something myself. Anyhow, I currently have 15x9.75 (10) Bogart Bolted RTs with a Strange 12 bolt stock length. I'm not sure on what back spacing it has, I believe whatever they usually put on it unless specified differently. Will I be able to run this tire without having to narrow the rear end and change rims? If not, how much do I narrow each side and what size rim with what back spacing. Also, with the rear end shorter, what happens to the lower control arms and will anything else need to be modified, relocated, etc.? Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Yes you can run it without narrowing the rear, you would need just a standard 15x10 w/ 7.5 BS.

I run the same tire, but my rearend in narrowed 3" per side, I run a 15x10 w/ 5 BS, everything still fits in the stock locations, I just run the offset LCA's from billingsley, they move the LCA around 1/2-3/4 of an inch to give a little more room.

Well my Bogarts are 15x10 and have 7.5" of backspacing, so then I'll be good. I wonder how it will look though? Anyone have pics of this setup? On the 3" narrower per side with 5" of backspacing on a 15x10 wheel I've seen a lot. Seems to be a pretty common setup. Do you have pics of the offset LCAs or could you take some? Thanks.
