A 15x10 wheel, 7.2" backspacing with a 325/50/15 tire on the rear of a 2011-2012?

Those 325/50/15s are 12.8" wide and a 27.8" diameter.

I don't think those will fit over the brakes but I'm not sure.

I'm sure it would require relocation of some suspension components if it would fit. Out of curiousity....what wheel did you find in 15" with that much backspacing?

I'm pretty sure with the 15" tire you will need to relocate your rear sway bar, I would head over to the Tire section as they have the knowledge in there!

They are on american muscle, check out the 15x10 race star wheel. They also sell a sway bar relocation kit. The rear brakes are stock. They only put the Brembos on the front. I don't foresee any brake fitment issues. I just want to make sure that the tire will fit without rubbing anything in the rear.
