Default Right backspacing?
2- 15x10 Convo-Pro, 5x4.75 bolt circle, 5" backspacing w/ 325x50


what will i have to do with that backspacing? anything to the rotors? because that tire is super wide.

The Convo Pros don't require anything to fit over the calipers, but with the 5" backspacing, you'll end up with the rim an inch and a half outside the fender. With 325s, you will probably have issues with them rubbing the tops of the fenders.

Here is a link to some pics I found of 325s on a 10" rim with 6.5" backspacing. Yours will stick out another 1.5" further.

You may have to trim the fenders, by how much depends on each car.
