Wheel choices

Hey everyone. I'm planning on getting a set of nice 16 wheels and tires for the summer months. I want to get 16X8 with either a 0mm offset, 4.5" backspacing or +12mm offset, 5"backspacing. I'm not going to get real big with the tires as the truck isn't lifted yet. Probably 225 or 235/70/16s. If I'm correct the 4.5 backspacing will stick out a little further, right? It won't stick out to far past the fender wells though, will it. I was looking at the stock 15X7s today and they are well inside the fenders. Just want to make sure I'm not going to have any major rubbing issues or anything. I did a search, but all the posts were about wheels on lifted rigs. And even if I could go a little bigger on the tires, that would be nice, too. Thanks for any advice or info.

You're going to want to stick with a backspacing from 3.75 to 4.5 not more. Any less than 3.75 and you're blinging pretty bad.
