    Rear wheel fitment

    I’m trying to get a 15x10” wheel on the back of my coupe.  After mini tub and relocating the leafs I have 13” of clearance from side to side in the wheel well.  Here’s the issue...I have a 57 galaxie 9” diff.  When I measure from the face of my rotor to the inner wheel tub I get 8.25”.  From the face of the rotor to the outer lip of the fender I get 4.75 inches.   So if I calculate this correctly, I will need wheels with 6.75” of backspace. And 3.25” off set.  Does anyone see a problem with how I’m thinking about this?  FYI I’m also trying to run either a 275 and hoping a 295 mm tire. Thanks ...Brent.
