Default what is the most back spacing on a 15x10 I can use?

I am getting my 02 chevy converted to a 5x4.75 blot pattern and wanted to know what is the most back spacing I can use with out hitting the bolt on the rear caliper? I am looking at the summit brand pro stars or the welds but the summit brand is 1/2 the price.

On disk you can do 5" and drums 6.25 safely.

Are you sure about the 15" wheel ? I think you need 16" with 4.5 bs , but that's to tuck the wheels @ 8'' wide.????

I run 15" rims now on the track and I have ground my calipers to fit. I am wanting to move to 15x10's and my messuring is comming up that it will fit but not real sure. they offer the rim in 4.5 back spacing and 5.5 and I really would like the 5.5.
