Im looking at some 15x10 torq thrust wheels with 3.75" backspace for the rears on my 1979 Malibu what are the widest tires i can use with stock suspension?

Is this with a frame notch?

No stock frame

I'm running a 275-60-15 on a 8" wheel on mine.

8" rim is a good size for a stock frame Gbody, I feel those 10's will be sticking out with any tire designed for that width rim.

So do you think a 245 60 15 will fit

It will fit great on a 8" rim it is too narrow for a 10"

What about a 255 60 15

Still too narrow for a 10" rim, why not get a 8" rim and have more choices of tires sizes that will fit the car without all of the fitment issues trying to fit a rim that is too wide.
