Question
Sure does!

You can use wheel adapters... From 6 to 5 lug. I know, i have seen them, its just a matter of getting the right thickness.

Just FYI.

That's true, but a 2" thick adapter is much too thick and won't cause rubbing, it will cause destruction. I dig my wheels, don't get me wrong, but my 6x4.5 limits options to "mostly" custom wheels.

Why would they not fit? A 67'Camaro w a 10 inch wheell(tire too) i can see fit. Maybe not w a 295 but surely a stretched 275 or 285 w the right spacing.

Heck, Carl C's has 275 s all around if i remember correctly...

My car is not tubbed - I have 11 inched from inner tub to fender lip. A 10 inch wheel is 11 inches wide. I am going to roll the lip on the fender, but that only gives me about .5 inch. So, if i did a 10 inch wheel and found a wheel that I liked with the exact perfect offset/backspacing the tire would have to be exactly the same width as the rim. I think it's just too tight.

That brings up a good question though - anybody running a 9.5 or 9 inch rear and what backspacing are you using?
