with the exception of your tires sticking out past the fenders, you should have no problems what so ever with 3.75" of back spacing. depending on the make and without any lift, you may have some rubbing on the fenders at a full flex though.

There are some 15" rims that will fit your 2010 without a problem. Like the Black Rock 909 or the MB72. Look in the 15" wheel thread in the show & tell section for more.

Default Thanks for all the advice. One more thing

I forgot to mention that the wheels will be 15 x 10" wide. Is everything still going to be ok?
