Backspacing?

I have a 2003 F-250 Superduty that I am going to put a 4 inch Zone lift on. I want to put on 315/75/16 Duratracs on 16x8 wheels. Now the "recommended" backspacing for that combination is supposed to be 4 inches. I seem to be able to find the wheels that I want all in 4.5". I've talked to a few 4x4 shops and tire shops. I've had a few say that 4.5 will definitely rub; some say that either will work; one guy said that both will rub; one said that neither will rub. My question to you guys is if I can get away with that tire/wheel combo and NOT have rubbing issues?

What do you all run or what would you suggest? Thanks!
