backspacing help

Im looking at running 295/50-15 on my truck on all 4 corners on 10 inch rims. Im wondering how much backspacing im goin to need for the front so the tires wont rub on anything. My truck is an 86 f150 2wd.

-44 mm is ideal.

half point of 10" wheel is 5" 44mm is 1.73"

5 + 1.73" = 6 3/4" backspace.

Heres a link to the 2 wheels im looking at getting put on my truck. I was wondering if the backspacing is correct on them, specially for the front for steering purposes so nothing rubs.

The 8's are goin on the front and the 10's on the back.
