In my experience, the actual American Racing "Vector" wheels did come in 10", but not 10.5". And those had a 3.5" backspace. On the street they would cause the tire to hit the fenderwell on bumps. If these are for strictly track and no street driving, you should be OK. But they will stick out on the outside.

For reference: http://www.gnttype.org/techarea/pictureguides/wheels/twheels.html

As Phil said, 28x15x?(width) ?

Keller was right the backspacing was 3.5 on the 10" wide rims. Will having a overside slick have any down side when at the strip?

the 28's might be a little tall

it really depends on how much power the car makes..
