The soft 8's come in 5" backspace and are pretty flush with the fenders. I'm running 255/85/16 Maxxis Bighorns and they look almost perfect with the soft 8's.

5" Backspacing is all you'll need for that tight look. Besides, I'm pretty sure 5" is as much as you will find that will fit. Good luck getting 6" of BS to fit if you do.

My steel wheels from Mopar keep them under the flares.
