Spending my OT check on wheels, need a little info!

Hey everyone, as title says I worked a bunch of OT and I'm spending it on my truck (95 F150 4x4 extcab stock suspension). I have 31x10.5R15 BFG ATs and looking at putting them on 15x8" Dick Cepek DC2 wheels. Might look real nice on the black truck.

Wondering if the tires will stay inside the fenders to stay legal. I've did some research and I think I will be ok. Anyone have the same set up or offer input? (pics would be super) I hold all of your opinions higher than any tech person. Thanks so much!

8" wheels with 3.5" to 4" backspacing(0 offset) will be just inside the fender at the top of the wheel opening. You do not want wheels with anything higher than 4" backspacing or the tires will rub on the trailing arms excessively at full lock.

How much backspacing would be needed to be able to run 33 12.5s on a stock 1995 f150
