Quick question, I'm an idiot

I'm looking at some new wheels for my 13 4x4. It currently has the stock OR wheels on it. The wheels I'm looking at are 16x8 with a 4 inch backspace. Will the wheels stick out farther with this setup? I think I'm correct in saying the higher the backspace the farther they stick out? Thanks for the help

 

4 inch will stick out quite a bit. I run 16x8 with 4.5 backspace and it sits pretty much flush with the fender flare.

 

Thank you sir!!!

 

I just put these on mine. And here a pic before with stock wheel and after with these wheels. Same size.

Thank you.

 

Hopefully that helps.

 

So if I had a 4 inch backspace they would stick out 1/2 inch farther than yours? Or is backspacing split between the front and back of the wheel?

 

Backspacing is the distance between the hub and mountain surface of the wheel so it would stick out about 1/2 inch more.

 

This is a 16x8, 4.5 backspacing wheel with a 285/75/16 tire mounted.

 

Sweet!!! Thank you all. Now I can finally order me some wheels. You all rock!

 

Yes, i believe thats correct. But im not sure how many have 4 backspace. Ill have my lift on in a week or two and ill show some pics of it lifted with the same wheels to show how much the wheels will stick out.

 

What all did you have to trim to get those 285's to fit?

 

Removed mud flaps, cut some plastic, good alignment. Doesn't rub at all in everyday driving, I've rubbed the cab mount a bit a couple times off road. I have my cab mount chop plates ready to go but haven't done it yet.
