I have the Weld Pro Stars. 15 X 3.5 on the front and 15 X 10 on the rear. The front only come with a standard back spacing and I have the rear on 6.5 inch back spacing. I run 295 50 15 on the rear for the street and 28X10 ET Drags for the track. I massaged the outer rear wheel lip a little and used a 4 lb hammer to masage the inner rear wheel tub to prevent rubbing which was a very minor procedure.

I'm running 275/50/15 BFG's. They rubbed quite a bit at first, but I beat the hell out of my inner fenders to cure that. I still will get an occasional rub though.

W/ 275's the tires should not rub. You won't need to run a spacer.

Tim, I have 9" wheels w/ 6.0 backspacing w/ 275's and no issues.If anything, the 5.5 will rub the outside not the inside. I have a pic of the exact set up you want on a friend of mines car, hang on and I'll post it up.
