Default Backspacing inquiries

I'm planning on a BDS 3" lift with 16" Cragar soft 8's that are 8" in width with 5" of backspacing. Am I going to run into rubbing issues with a 255/85R16 KM2?
(it's 33.3" tall and 10" wide on a 7" wheel)

I'm trying to keep my tires withing the width of my fender flares and don't want any tire sticking out.

Awesome. JK-KJ, do your tires stick out from the fenders?

They do a little bit, but not much at all....I'd say about 1/2" at the most, but my tires are wider so you shouldn't have any issues there either.
