Wheel backspacing

I have a 94 F150 4x4. I think that the bolt spacing is 5x5.5. I am looking at 31x10.5x15 tires. Either 15x7 or 15x8 wheels. What backspacing is required on this truck 3.75" or 4"

Measure the stock wheel and adjust it accordingly to what you feel is best. A wider tire will usually want to be further out so the lower backspacing number is what you'd want.
