You went from drum brake spindles to disc spindles so the wheels are pushed out farther because of the wider disc brake track width.
You typically notice the un-centered wheel location when utilizing aggressive drops. Mild drops when using spindles help minimize the issue. With the truck not aligned yet, it could be a fluke or, it could be the placement of all the sheet metal (the farther fore/aft of the sheet metal, the less you notice things) or it could be a combo of all the above (using spindles, alignment setting, & sheet metal location on the chassis).
10" wheels w/275-60's should fit w/o mini-tubs using the proper back spacing. Off the shelf back spacing is not ideal. This is where you have to weigh PROS/CONS.
Purchasing mini-tubs doesn't help your front issue. Since your front wheels are sticking WAAY out, you should look for a narrower wheel. I would consider appropriate sized wheels w/the back-spacing optimized as much as possible vs. generic/off the shelf dimensions.

Oh, I must not have worded this correctly. I got rear only wider than stock tubs. I just want huge wheels/tires in the back. My stock tubs needed considerable work so it just made sense to grab new ones, wider while I was at it
So rear I'm thinking of like 315's or wider.
Fronts, yeah, appropriate sized wheels/tires will probably be my next move now that I understand I only get .5" at most each side with the modular drop spindles...
