67 Camaro with minitubs - drag wheels w/ slicks?

Figured Id update this. Lets start with a story..

So I drive about an hour to meet up last Friday night. Get there and the wheels and tires look to be as advertised. 15x10 welds with a 28 x 10.5W M/T. They look good, tires have life left. Just to check I ask the guy for a tape measure. He goes and grabs one.. I measure and come up with 4.5" of backspacing when I was told they had 5". I express my concern for the lack of backspacing, we agree on the price and I'm on my way. On the way home I'm thinking there is no way these are going to fit and ill clean them up and sell them at a later date. I figure when I try to bolt them up the inside of the tire will hit the wheel wells and stop them from going on. I get home after the hour drive and decide I will try to see how far off they are. Here are my findings and comparisons..









So they bolt on no rubbing issues that I can see. Plenty of room both fender side and wheel well side. The tires do not look that big under there. I actual think I can go bigger. But for the price these will do for now. The only issue I see is that my existing studs are not long enough. I ordered 3" arp studs and the specific weld lug nuts to run the welds. Now my close ended lugs will not work on my forgelines being that the studs will be so long so I had to order open ended lugs for my forgelines. More to come once I get the arp studs in.
