Not to hijack but this thread reminds me to ask Wandell if you had the choice for an 04-08 screw, would ya go with 44mm or 30mm B/S on a 10" wide rim? Seems to me unless I am backwards in my logic, the 44mm B/S would put more rubber inside the fender wells and the 30mm more outside, correct?

A 0 offset would yeild a 4.75 backspace.
6mm = .24" so you are right at a 4.5 backspace.
Your wheels should fit just fine.

With a ten inch wide wheel, your backspacing at 30mm offset is 6.7 inches.
at 44mm it would be 7.26" of backspacing.
I am not sure what max these trucks take without rubbing so you may want to measure to be sure. I believe you are talking about the saleen 30/44 setup correct?
Its just a matter of preference there, the 30 will stick out just a bit further than the 44. I personally would do the 44 if you dont have factory flares. they throw dirt/rocks/water all over the fenders. I have 35 offset on my 22x9.5 which gives me 6.65 inches of wheel inside the hub and 3.85 outside the hub and they stick out past the fender lip just enough to be annoying when its all cleaned up and i go thru water.

That is correct, the 44 offset will put 14mm or .56" more of the wheel and rubber to the inside.

at 44mm it would be 7.26" of backspacing.

Thats an easy one... this involves a bit of math so just bear with me.
A tire size is made up of three sets of numbers the first and usually the largest, is the width of the tire in MM.
the second is a ratio of width to sidewall hieght.
and the third and most commonly known is the wheel size.
SO with that being said,
1mm = .04" and 1" = 25.4mm
Your first tire size states 285 wide making it 11.4 inches wide.
the second number is a percentage of the first... in this case 50%
so you would have a sidewall of 50% of 11.4 = 5.7 inches.
calculating it using the second set of numbers would yeild
295 X .04 = 11.8 inches wide.
the ratio is 45% so
45% of 11.8 = 5.31 inches
Your first tire is going to have .4 (.39 exactly) inches more sidewall.
and will be about .8 (little over 3/4) inches taller.
