"I'm running 15X6 wheels on my car, with 205/50/15 tires. But they have a 3.375" backspacing."

In the front my wheels clear the suspension pivots. They have 3.740" backspacing, that's 0.365" more than yours, but the width of the wheels is 5.5" and that's 0,5" less. So the outer edges of your wheels will be 0.135" further outboard than mine.
The tires I want (but don't have yet) are 195/65 which is also less wide than 205/50. However a 195/65 tire is appr. 1.91" higher than a 205/50, perhaps that's a problem?
All and all I have the idea I might get away with some 1/4" extra clearance, gained by rolling. What do you think?
