Will 15x10's fit under the rear of 71 RR?

I know the the rear wheels wells on the 71 RoadRunners are deep, but with they handle the 15x10 rallies with 5.5" of backspacing that wheel vintiques offer? Without jacking up and tires sticking out. I like all the tire tucked up under the fender. And if so, what size tire would you run with that??

I have 15x10 Rodlites with 295/50s on the rear. You could easily put a 275/60. I'll have to double check my offset as well. I remember I brought it way in so I wouldn't have to roll the lip, and only sometimes does it rub on the leafspring, so one less inch of rear space would make it perfect. There's about an inch between the tire and wheel lip (not rolled up). I'll get back to you tonight, hopefully, on the rear space.
