back spacing

I am lifting my 2004 f350 super duty with an 8 inch lift and 38x13 with 16x10 wheels. Any suggestions on backspacing and will these tires rub?

A backspacing changes with width, so look at the offset instead. A -25mm offset will probably rub a little bit on the springs, so more negative than -25mm would be good, but can be hard to find. A few make -50 or -51mm wheels, Ion makes a -41mm and you can get some XD wheels in a -44mm.

Those are -27, so it will probably rub a little. You could limit your steering so it doesn't rub, but I wouldn't want to lose any steering.

I wouldn't use wheel spacers and 12" wheel is pretty wide for a 13" tire.
