I had to widen my inner tubs for my 10 rims. I have huge tires though, I doubt you would get a 7 inch backspace on there without rubbing.

Re: Need help with Tires

UPDATE: sent the rims back to the place I purchased from to exchange for 15X10's with 5 inch back spacing. Of course more money now, but hopefully now I will be able to run my wide tires without narrowing my rearend or widening my fenders?
