4.25" vs 4.5" Backspacing, and will these fit?

http://www.tirepackage.com/makes.asp...der&cat=Wheels

I currently have a set of Ivan Stewarts 16x8 with a 4.5" backspace. Will a backspacing of 4.25" push the tires further out of the wells, or closer to the truck vs a 4.5" backspacing?

less backspacing will put the wheel out farther

Less backspacing such as 4.25" calls for more rubbing or trimming.

It's not much to worry about though, you should be fine.

I'm running 265s anyways so rubbing isn't an issue. I plan on having one of the guys I go wheeling with hack part of the body mount off and replate it so I can fit 285s with no rubbing.

Anyone interested in a set of Ivan Stewarts? They've taken a bit of beating from wheeling. I'd offer the set for probably 250$ plus s&h. They still look rather good from a distance, but up close they're a bit chewed up.

I really like the Ivan Stewarts. How chewed up are they? Any pictures?

I've got dibs on the wheels after Flux if they're not too chewed up.
