Maybe?, depending on the housing width. I had the same, springs in the frame, stock 67 b-body rear and 10" wheels. Mine had 6" backspace and about 3/4 clearance. I had 29.5 slicks so the front edge of the wheel well moved foward about 2". (Big hammer) My Duster now will have 15x10x 5" backspace rims with stock spring position, a-body width housing. Front part has been reworked also. Might add those 4-1/2 wheels puts the tire very close to outside wheel lip if down at stock height.

I am pretty sure those cars (Duster/Demon) have the biggest A body fender wells around. With the same backspacing you should have the same clearance you had on the inside. Do you remember if you had over two inches left on the outside with your 15x8 wheels? Well, back when I ran the 15x8’s the car had a B-body rear and from what I recall, they were real close to the outer lip. I’m thinking a 15x10 with 4 1/2” backspacing will put the tire too far out (Just thinking out loud in my head???) I suppose I’m looking for pics if anyone has used this exact wheel with stock wheel well. Thanks all for the info!

Draw a full scale cross section of what you have now including the leaf spring to tire distance, wheel lips to tire distance etc and then tape it to a window in your house.
Then draw up a 10" wide rim and tire, also at full scale, and overlay it over the first one you drew and you can easily see if it will fit or not.
If you have access to a cad drawing program this overlay method works great too.
Personally I would rather have an 8" rim with a wider tire and some old school sidewall bulge vs a 10 rim and a smaller tire that looks pinched inward.
