15x10's

I should hopefully have my 54 Chevy Delux 2 door or lower spec Bel Air in my possession in about 3 weeks. The goal is to be my new daily in a couple months afterwards. It only needs some suspension work, and new tires to be ready. The tires are narrow bias ply's. So tires are definitely on the short list.

The car appears from my initial look to have enough room for 15x10's, and atleast 275/60r15 should fit. 295's if I get crazy with the sheet metal.

As I look through the wheel catalogs for 15x10's. I can get from 2 nches of back spacing to 5 inches. On the steel rims I want.

So when I get the car, and finalize the plans. Since I need to.do the axle up at the same point.

Is there any advantage to a 2 vs a 5 inch back spacing wheel. Or disadvantages?

I think removing the wheel with a low backspace would be easier. Is this true?
