Will these wheels work
I know where I can get a pretty good deal on some black steel Bassett or Weld wheels 5 on 5, 15x10 with 4.75 back spacing and 5/8 stud holes. Is anyone running these rims. Just wondering if I would need to grind the calipers with these or not.

They might rub...the 4.75" BS is good for tire fit though...on a 15" rim, they rub on the brakes more than they don't...so, its a crap shoot.
If you want to try them out, and just ebay/return them if they rub...or, plan B...grind your calipers down until the don't rub, etc....you could experiment.
A 10" wide rim is pretty wide...as in...REALLY wide tires would be required to have the sidewalls bulge reasonably outside of the rim width...considering 12.5's are being run on 7-8" rims by a HUGE number of off roaders.
