Default looking at pro comp 7032's have a question...

I am planning on running 33x11.50 tire (295x75x16). The specs on the wheel are 0mm offset and 4.5" backspacing. Does this sound like it will fit without rubbing?
I have no lift but the fenders have been chopped. The offset and backspacing confuse me! I have read many posts saying the idea backspacing is around 4.5" but this 0mm offset is throwing me off. Help!!

See the info below, hopefully that will help explain your offset question...You should be okay with the 4.5" backspacing despite the offset....

Zero Offset

The hub mounting surface is even with the centerline of the wheel.

Positive

The hub mounting surface is toward the front or wheel side of the wheel. Positive offset wheels are generally found on front wheel drive cars and newer rear drive cars.

Negative

The hub mounting surface is toward the back or brake side of the wheels centerline. "Deep dish" wheels are typically a negative offset.
