Default Backspacing ? on 15x8" wheels

I am going tommorow or the next day to order a set of the American racing wheels hopster. I am going to get a set of 15x8 but run a 245-60-15 on the front and a 275-60-15 on the rear. The wheels come in a 15x8 in a 3 3/4" inch backspacing. I was wondering if anyone on here is running this combination on the obs trucks? I measured it out and it looks like it will fit, but i was wanting some feedback from anyone running this setup. Thanks

Are these going on a NBS or OBS truck?

If on a NBS, they will stick out.
