The factory 8" wheel(mostly found on Broncos but also appeared on some F150 packages) has 4" backspacing(zero offset) and while it doesn't stick out past the fender any it fills the wheel opening a little better than the more common 7.5" wheel.

So you feel the four inch offset will probably not have any tire rub lock to lock
