Default Tires- beating a dead horse

So I have been searching for tires, have found some 265/75/15s for a great price, I have some aftermarket wheels that are 8" wide, my truck is a 93 4 wheel drive shorty running stock height. Did the tire calculations in the FAQ2, looks like they will be able to clear, am I correct?

it all depends on the backspacing of the rims.

Only paid $75 for a set with lugs, need cleaning but they work.
