Thats a pretty wide tire, nearly 13". I dont know if it will fit with any backspacing without a big hammer. If it will physically fit it bet it would take 6"-6.5" on a 10" wheel. You definately will need to cut the fender lip off. I'm curious too, keep us posted.

My 265/35/22 tires are about 3/16" from the factory uncut fender lips in the back with 9.5" wheels and 6" of backspacing. Hope that gives you a reference on how much room you have to work with.

i only have a 4'' drop in the back.
with my street tires i have enough space.
so i can put a 375 or so (as example)
no need to modify the fenders.
i only want not to wide on the outside.

and indeed i need some serious tires with my fresh zz502 to get the gmc hook-up.
next year i want to swap to a s&w ladderbar set-up,but i have now not enough money.

thanks Tom
here are some pictures with my old tires/engine with the same drop.

If you dont mind them sticking out then just about any wheel with 5.5"-6" or less rear spacing would work.
