5.25" - 5.5" Is what most recommend. Limey is the self proclaimed 10" king so he might know if I'm off. Rolling Eyes

My 10" rims have 4" backspace. I have to have the stinkbug stance to keep the tires from rubbing or getting cut by the wheelwell lip. 295/50 tires.

I will get another set sometime that will have at least 5.25" b/s. I'm thinking that 325's would be ok on a 10" rim with 5.5" b/s. At that tire size, the most you should have to do is roll the wheelwell lip.
