offset/backspacing

Hey guys so i think i kind of understand the backspacing/offset but i just wanted to confirm. I just bought a new set of wheels/tires for my 2005 fx4. Im not sure what the specs are for the stock wheels, but i bought 17x8.5 wheels with 0mm offset and 4.75" backspace. can anyone confirm how much these new wheels will stick out? I don't mind if it is a little (2 in at most) bit but i hate the way it looks when trucks have wheels that stick out super far.

ive read that the stock wheels are 7.5in wide and have backspacing of 5.5in ish. so does that mean that these wheels will stick out roughly 1.25 inches more? given .5in per side on the 1in wider wheel and .75in smaller backspacing?

If seen pictures online with later model f150's having the same wheels but i can gauge what the offset/backspacing looks like from the pictures. Kind of stupid on my part for not asking someone before i ordered them.
But any help would be great. Thanks

It will extend the wheel outward by about 2" total.
