They will sit outside the fenders. To tuck you'd want a positive offset, or more backspacing. A 0 offset on a 9" wheel is the equivalent of 4.5" backspacing.

Werd, that's about 2" away from tucking so not even close.

Here's what a 0mm offset looks like on my truck. Wouldn't be as noticable if I had like a 275/40/20 tire since the wheel is only 9" wide. 285/50/20 in the pics
