Rear Wheel Size - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm working on a 1965 Chevy c10 however have a later model rear end with a width of 64 inches mounting plate to mounting plate. I was Planning on putting 18x9.5 with a 275 tire and the rim has a 5 inch back space. When i was putting the car together i tried the front wheel and tire which is a 18x8 with 255 and a 4.5 inch back space on the rear end and with the fender on there was only about an inch of clearance from the end of the tire to the fender. I do not want to modify the fender so does anyone know if the 18x9.5 with a 275 tire would have any clearance or would i have to use the same size as the front?
