backspacing question on 1997

I have tried to research this so I would not ask a question that has been answered several times already, but was unable to find a answer. I have found some Centerline Hellcats (16 x 10 ) but they have 4" backspacing, Centerlines website says that they will fit on a lifted 97, I have a 3" PA body lift. I do not mind if the tires stick out some, but I really do not want to look stupid, I will be running 285/75/16 or 305/70/16. These rims are on sale on Centerlines website and they only have the 4" backspacing. My question is will 4" backspacing really stick out that bad? Thank You in advance Shawn

Well, you have 4" of backspacing. Since you are looking at 10" wide rims, I would believe that would leave 6" stiking out the side of the truck. Can you handle 6" out?

4 inches will work. They will only stick out about 1/2 inch. My 16x10's have 4 1/2 inches of backspacing and are about flush.
