18x8.5 w/5.75bs vs. 18x10 w/5.46bs

Ok, thinking about trying some different rims to see what my 37x13.50's look like on a 10" rim instead of a 8.5" rim. Currently the sidewall looks pulled in alot to fit the narrow rim.

Currently I can barely get my fingers between the tire and my spindle, the 10" rim will make the tire effectively wider, I"m wondering if the .25" less of backspacing will save me from having a rubbing issue there. I like the tucked in look so don't want to run anymore backspacing than I have to. This is on the rize 8"

Thinking about these:

Those are sweet! Keep in mind, even though the bs is almost the same, the extra 1.5 inches of wheel width will pull the tire outward. I think they will work/look great.
