How much Backspacing do I need
I have a 2012 and will be ordering wheels and tires. Goodyear Duratracs 285/75/16. The wheels that I like has 4" backspacing, can someone tell if any of the tire will stick out from my stock flares? If so how much? They are 8.5 wheels
Really don't mind a little but would rather have them stuck under the flares!!
Frontal photos would be nice.

My wheels are 16x8.5" and have 4.5" of backspacing. My 285/75s stuck out from the fenders about 1 inch or a tad more at each corner. Really, it was just about perfect. The tires never rubbed while steering, unless I was in reverse and turned full lock.
