I could post this in the 60-series section, but instead of getting advice from random yahoos, i'd rather get advice from yahoos I at least sort of know.
What is the consensus, if there is one, on running 10.5 inch tires on 6 inch rims?
My current tire/wheel setup is 33-10.5-15 on what i'm reasonably sure are 15x8 rims with 3.75 backspacing - bought used from Vince so not positive on measurements. Anyhow, I just bought five new tires, and when I pulled the spare off (first time in 10 years), I find that it is super rusty. Not interested in mounting a brand new tire to a rusty rim, I set out on a quest to figure out exactly what wheel I have. Well you know how these things go, and long story a little shorter, I now want to replace all five with these:

I think i'll be find WRT backspacing, but am reading mixed opinions on putting a 10.5 inch tire on a 6 inch rim.
What do you all think?

There is an 8" smoothie, but it's 4" of backspace, and I'm pretty sure that's not going to clear my TRE boot.
If you want to give your opinion on spacers, I'll suffer through that as well.
