I have Team III wheels on my car. In the front I have 7" wheels with 4 1/2" back spacing with 235x60 tires. The outside bulge of the tire is even with the outside lip on the fender. For the rears I have 10" wheels with 5 1/8" back spacing with 295X50 tires. The outside bulge is also just even with the top outside lip of the fender.
While the 295s look good in the rear it is very tight. I don't like the tires sticking out and I had to cut a section of fiberglass out and redo it on left rear inner front wheel well to keep the tire from rubbing. This really depends on how the inner tub was set when the car was built. If I were to do it again I would go with smaller rims in the rear and 275 tires. With a little less back spacing and the smaller tires the chances of rubbing would be less and the smaller tires would be in a little more.
Understand this also depends on your rear axle width. Mine is 55 3/8" axle flange to flange, or 56" outside rotor to outside rotor.
