'68 - 6 lug rear wheel ?'s

Guys,

Recently installed a static drop 2/4 kit from ECE (awesome kit BTW), aligned and centered rear end w/ adjustable panhard bar.

Stock, 6 lug, 373 posi rear end with smoothie 15x8 wheel (4" BS) & 235/70R15 tires. Currently I'm measuring about 3/4" (+/- 1/8") from inner sidewall to wheel tub.

I'd like to put a 10" wheel (275/60R15 or bigger maybe) to fill out wheel well. With the abv measurements I need to go out but only finding a 15x10 6 lug with 4 1/2" BS and I'm concerned that the tire will rub on inner.

Also thought about getting a spacer fab'd up but I'm pretty sure I'll have to get longer wheel studs.

Question #1: how big of a job is it to install longer wheel studs being 50 years old? Cuz after installing the drop kit nothing comes apart that easy!!!

Question #2: How much more is it for a custom wheel, 15x10 w/ 4" BS? Does wheel vintiques do that?

Any other insight?

Attached pics are after drop kit.
