Chances are the 10" wheel you are looking at has an offset of 47mm. I did not have issues with rubbing on the fender but it's tight on the inside. The e-brake cable will rub the rim unless you pin it back, but it's dfficult to keep it pinned with tie straps because they want to slide down the suspension member. Someone said there is a factory piece that will hold the cable out of the way. Also, the clearance is so tight you can't put wheel weights on the inner portion of the rim, they have to be the glue on type on the wheel (obviously you wouldn't put them on the outer rim).

These issues would be resolved if you add spacers. Not sure what size would be the best. I chose not to go the spacer route. Just wanted to let you know my experiences.
