4 inch BS'ing enough?

Hey guys, im getting ready to order the Mickey thompson classic locks in a 16x10. I was orginally going to go with 4.5 inch backspacing but i found a set here local with 4 inch bspacing. I am running 36x12.50 with 7 inches of lift under a 98 F-150. I want them to stick out a just enough, not to much, but just enough to get the right look.......will 4 inch backspacing get them out to clear the fender flares by an inch or so??

My 16x10's have 4.5 inches of backspacing and are about dead even with the fender flares. So a 16x10 with 4 inches of backspacing should put you about 1/2 inch out past the fender flares. I have a couple of pics in my gallary just do a search for "wandell". Also, make sure those wheels are the 5x135mm bolt pattern. I say this because most all the 16x10s I've seen for our trucks have 4 1/2 or 4 5/8 inches of backspacing.
