5.625" too much backspacing for 18x8.5's?

looking at some wheels on ebay....

That seems like a bit much for 18's but backspacing has always confused me. My truck is not lowered.

stock BS is somehting like 3.75 or 4",not 100% sure, but somewhere in that area. So I'm thinking you may need some wheel spacers!

My 20x8 are 5.5" backspacing and I had to trim the rear fenders to get them to tuck.
