Enough room for 15x10 on a Demon?
275 is as wide as you can go with the stock spring location if you actually plan on having the wheels inside the quarters. A 295 requires at least a 1/2" spring offset, as well as trimming or rolling the quarter lips.
I did a test fit on my Duster with a set of 275's before I moved or cut anything, they fit but they're fairly tight if the car sits low. 295's will not fit on a car that sits close to the stock ride height or lower with the stock spring location. I run 295's on my duster now with a set of 18x10" rims, but I also use a 1/2" spring offset and cut the quarter lips back by almost a 1/2". At my ride height the 295 is absolutely as wide as you can go even with those modifications, before I added my 7/8" sway bar I would occasionally get some rubbing on the inside fender well going over speedbumps etc when the body of the car moved around. Since the addition of the sway bar I don't get any rubbing, and I run 121 lb/in rear leaf springs. But I'm also right on the "bump" on the outer fender well with any suspension travel. It doesn't rub, but it's right there. Eventually I'll probably do a "reverse" mini-tub and modify the outer wheel tub to remove the "bump" and make the outer wheel tub go straight up from the quarter lip instead of angling in. That would let me lower the car a little more.
This is my car with the 295's. The first picture gives you an idea of how wide the tire looks from the back, although it's a little deceptive with my ride height, and I've lowered the car slightly since then. The second picture gives you a better idea of my ride height.
Here's the current ride height
Now, about this...
This picture is hilarious. That tire does not in any way, shape or form fit this car. It's hanging 2" outside the quarter. That car is at 4x4 height, and you can't lower it or the quarters will cut the tires apart. The car has been raised significantly, which is easy to see because there's a good 3" of space between the top of the tire and the top of the wheel opening. It's ridiculous to say that tire fits that car. If that's the definition of "fit", you could run a set of 35x12.5x15 super swampers, because they would fit about the same. Anything will fit if you hang the wheel outside of the quarters, the spring location and size of the wheel well is completely irrelevant at that point.

14X10s with N50 tires on a duster, same wheel well
springs in stock location
