Default 10.5 Wheel with 7.25 BS

How will they fit? Will it look like poo? Would a 275/50/ tire go good on it ?

Assuming you are wanting these for a Camaro?

7.25 BS is equivalent to +51mm offset. They should fit well inside and be pretty close to the fender.

You did not quote the wheel diameter. If it's a 15" wheel 275/50/15 will be ok but you could go to a wider section width (295).

If it's on a bigger rim say 16,17, or 18 you will probably need a lower aspect ratio.

that wheel is gonna stick out a little, but not crazy

a 15x10 weld wheels is usually run with a 7.5" backspace. so you moving the wheels out .25" with the 7.25 backspace, and adding .5" on top

Sorry, it is for the Camaro and it is a 15" wheel.

The wheels are centerline auto drags.

so they will stick out 3/4's of an inch out of the wheel well?

They should not stick outof the wheel well. Depending on tire selection you may have to roll your fender lip.

Look at the pic in my avatar... now imagine those tires and wheels pushed out a little bit. They will be flush with the lip. It can work.

ok what about running a 275/50/15 on it for now and then later on get a 12 bolt or a 9 inch, and get it narrowed......how far would i need to get it narrowed?

would I be better off getting it narrowed more and getting a different backspacing?

Depends on the tire, some 275-50's won't fit on a 15x10. Depends on the brand.

Check around, I think Derek98Z ran 275-50-15 Nittos on 15x10'. If you ask around you can see what folks did.
