Default wheel fitment questions

so im getting ready to order new tires and rims and ditch the mexi wheels.

im going with the summit 4 lug star wheels since each one is 10% off right now. my question is i want to run a 275/50/15 on a 10inch rim. as i understand it though with a 10" rim on a fox you need a 6.5 backspacing.
well i cant find a 6.5 backspace in the star wheels. so i was wondering if i can run a 15x8 inch wheel 5.5 backspacing with a 275/50/15 MT et street tire and not rub or just a slight massaging of the lip/in fender.

i know the wheel chart for MT says it will fit a 275/50/15 on a 15x8 rim but is that too much bulge on the side?

Not at all, it looks pretty good in my book. I am seriously thinking about putting them on a set of turbines (15x7). That will have a bulge lol.
