Up to 7.5" b/s if you want to run a 12.5" wide (cross section) tire on a 10"rim, or 13+" if you roll the fender lip. That will tuck'em in nice, if you are looking to get the widest meats on there possible w/o rubbing. Your truck may me slightly diff.

You will need, at least, 7" backspace. This should keep the outside of the tire on the inside of the fender lip, but all trucks are not created equal and YMMV.
At a minimum, the 7" bs will not have the tire beyond the fender.
