Backspacing and offset are two different roads to the same destination; two different methods of measuring the exact same thing. If you have one, you don't need the other unless you're just more familiar with one over the other. Most around here use backspacing since it's in inches and wheels are measured in inches. Personal preference really. And don't feel bad about dropping a period or something in ther next time

Right. And to answer your question, we have to know the width of the Fuels. If they are 9 inches wide they will stick out 1.5 inches farther than your OEM wheels, if they are 10 they will stick out 2.5 inches farther than stock.
