If an 8" wheel has a 0 offset, that converts to a 4.5" backspace.
At least a 3.75 inch backspace is required. Anything over that is mor than enough. TRUST ME
The wheel spacing itself will correct, or increase, the offset and properly push the wheel out. The spacers can also be change out to provide a better spacing and offset.
1994-1999 1500 2WD/4WD Aluminum Wheels * Lug Pattern - 5 on 5.5", 1/2" bolt * Rim Size - 16x7.0" * Offset - +13.97mm * Backspace - 5" * Max Tire Size - * 15x8.0 rims with 3.5" backspace will fit, but they stick out of the wheel wells.
34-45 offset
Is the estimated tuck in or out from the center of the wheel, example: (nissan sentra) 18x7.5 +40 offset is tucking in 40 mm from the center of the wheel or (old chevy pickup) 15x7.0 -10 offset is sticking out 10 mm from the center of the wheel.
The stock wheel has a 55 mm positive offset. Positive offset means that the wheel is tucked into the fender well 55mm more than it would be if the bolt flange of the wheel were perfectly centered in the wheel. Negative offset means that the wheel will stick out of the fender well more. So........ If you reduce (55mm-45mm) the positive offset my 10mm, your wheels and tires will stick out of your fenderwells 10mm further than the stock wheel, assuming that the aftermarket wheel is the same width as the stock wheel.
