Since it is an 8" wheel, the 0 offset should equate to a 4" backspace, which would give you plenty of room.

installer from pep boys just called. they put the wheels & tires on(265/75/16). they also said i need the spacers down the road. this question may be silly. do i need 5 spacers in total? thankx
