Should fit unless you are going with an outrageously wide tire, but with an 8" wide wheel you can't get too wide.......

Offset moves the wheel either in or out based on the number. A -11 mm offset moves the wheel out from the truck 11mm or aprrox. 1/2". Hope that helps...

man...so i guess i dont want these wheels then...1/2 inch for having a 4" backspace instead of a 4.5 and another half inch for -11 offset so i would guess they would stick out almost an inch more then stock?

They MAY stick out beyond the wheel well a small amount based on how wide a wheel you are going with, but it won't be a whole lot. I'm in the process of putting a 17x9 with 4.5" of backspacing and a -12 offset on my truck with 315/70-17 tires which is about 12.5" wide and they just barley are out past the wheel well...

OK, something doesn't sound right. A 16x8 wheel with 4 inches of backspacing would have 0mm offset.
