Tires and wheels

I was wondering what the largest size wheel you could fit in the rear of the fox is. I was wondering if a 10inch wide wheel would fit without any problems. If there are problems, how do i make em fit?

I can't speak on the 10's but I have 9's on the back of my 89 with a 1/4 inch wheel spacer and 275's lowered a inch and a half with no problems

10" Wheels with 6.5" backspacing and 295/50/15 tires can be made to fit.

Thanks, I forgot to include that tidbit.
A good set of aftermarket lower control arms like the UMI Lift Bars and the quad shocks are no longer needed anyways.
