Default 255x85R16 w/ 4.5" backspacing - space under fender?

Will 255x85R16 tires on 16x8 rims with 4.5" backspacing stick out from the wheel wells of a stock 2 dr X or will they be approx flush? I currently have 265x75R16 tires and they stick out about 1"-2" from the fenders. I prefer the tall narrow tire look but am concerned it will look odd if the skinny tires are sticking out from under the fenders. Thoughts?

I run 255x85R16 on a 16X8.... and they're pretty well flush with the fenders.

Thanks guys! Looks like it they'll stick out a bit, but not too terribly far.
