Yes that much back spacing will chew them up pretty fast. I have already replaced both of them. Mind you im still under 55k.

Might as well be a 10" wide wheel.

If you want a nicer stance you need to look at wide wheels.

But it comes with a price.

A 16x8 wheel with 4" of backspacing will stick out from the fenders. It will be right around 2" further out from that stock wheel.
