Rim backspacing

I'm looking at:

4 NEW AMERICAN RACING CIRCUIT VN870 BLACK

SIZE: 22x9.5

OFFSET: 30

BACKSPACING: 6.43"

BOLT PATTERN: 6x135

and was wondering how well they will work. My truck has a 2/5 drop and I want to run a 305/45/22" tire. I think 30mm offset will push the rims away from the inner fender well but 6.43" backspacing is alot. Would these still work?

305/40/22 would be better with the drop. The 45 series are about 33 inches tall, which will be too much with the drop. The backspacing and offset seems similar to stock and should work. Check miltIV new wheels and tires on the other thread. He has 305/40/22 on the Harley wheels and look great with the drop.

Well 305/40/22 is like 31.5" and that's how big my setup is now and there is way to much fender gap I was hoping 45s would fit as there 32.8" a tiny bit bigger then saleen guys run

i am running a 305/40/22 on a 22x9 on a 3/5 drop but i am almost positive my harley wheels are 42mm offset. It is really hard to find wheels for fords that wont stick out past the fenders. that 30mm offsett on a 9.5" wheel is going to stick out past the fenders. you can see pics of mine here.
there are both day and night pics in this thread.

Even with the 6.43 backspacing u think they will stick out? They are 2 inches wider than stock 17s with an inch more backspacing and similar offset. An inch on each side, from the two additional inches wide, should be close to stock. I had the 305/40/22 on my old 2wd gmc with just 2 inch rear shackle kit, and I think it looked good. Couple shots.

I think I may run a 285/45/22 up front and 305/45/22 out back. My 285s now run on max turn in reverse. 285 is about .5" shorter overall I dunno if you can even tell just looking at them
