Like roller skate wheels.

Regardless of the backspace they will stick out because like BigKID said you can't make them tuck because of the bolt on the brake caliper. I put the truck on a lift yesterday to look for myself and sure enough the stock 16" wheel is like 1/2" from hitting the bolt on the inside. If it wasn't for that bolt you could tuck the wheel in more.

If you go to a 17" wheel then you can go 10" wide and still tuck inside the fender.
Supposedly, you can change the calipers out to some from an S-10 that fit right up and the banjo bolt is repositioned and will not hit. CurtD informed me of these.
