Ok guys...I know I have been DRAGGING this topic around for a few weeks but I just did some measuring tonight and want to see what you guys think.
Ive been running 15"x8" rim with 4.5 back space with 5/16" spacer on the driver side and 7/16" on the pass side. Tonight I put them both on the pass side to see where the tire would sit. I now have atleast 1/2" maybe even 5/8" between the bulge of the QTP and the leaf. With the SS springs,the car sits high enough and I have plenty of room on the outside.

My question is this....I want to get a 10" rim but what back space??
 
I think you should stay with the 4.5" back spacing. You only have about a 1/2" to the leak spring. You would still have room if you happen to get different tire that has wider side walls. I went from a 28 x 12.50 to a 28 x 13.50 with having about a 1/2" next to the S/S springs with the 12.50s.
