The wheel well opening in the rear is 11 1/2 inchs. This is the distance from the bed side to the inside lip of the fender. A 295/50 r15 tire is 11.61 inches in width.To use the wider tire you will need wider fenders or recessed tubs on the bed sides. I am using 255/70r15 and 15x8 rims in the rear. They are 10 inches in width.

You aren't trying to run 10 inch wheels up front are you? If so, bad idea. It may look cool but the truck will not handle well at all. The 10 inch wheels out back are fine but up front I'd want 7 inch max. Those wide wheels and tires will make the truck try to steer itself when you hit those depressions in the pavement made by the 18 wheelers. My 48 has the Volare front but it was very close on clearance even with 15x6 wheels. The 56 will be a bit wider but still I doubt if there's room for 15x10s. Until I raised the T-bars a little I had a clearance issue with 225:75/R15s on 15x6 wheels up front.
aka "hydroplane"
they are cool lookin just not made for the front!
