since you have leaf springs on yours I would recommend 4.5" backspacing due to rubbing issues when you turn lock to lock with the 5.5". Plus you would probably have to remove the rotor protective shield on the left rear because it would probably rub against the inside of that wheel.

Americanracing.com lists it as 0 Offset, 4.5"BS. I find it very common to see mistakes on sites when looking at wheel specs so it's a good idea to check a whole bunch. Not sure where you looked but Summit for example lists +25 offset, 5.5"BS, they probably goofed and used the spec for the 16X8 6X139.7 bolt pattern.
