Default 275/60/15 BF Goodrich TA...How to make them fit

At the moment I have these on the back of my 69 Camaro on 10 inch Centerlines with a 5" backspacing and they rub occassionally on the quarter lip on the passengers side. What is the best way to get these to clear using wheel combos...not by rolling the lip if anybody was thinking that. The quarters are original so thats out of the question.

thanks guys

I believe you'll need to downsize to an 8" wide wheel with a 4 1/2" backspace!

x2 on the 8" with 4 1/2 bs, 10" wheels are not ideal for stock wheelwells.

On a '69, I run 275's on 17x9.5's with 5.5" backspacing and they fit perfect. Ten inches is a lot of rim but that tire should fit on something else.
