All I am seeing for those wheels with a 4.52 backspacing is -25mm offset.

Offset is calculated.... its the distance from the wheel centerline, to the mounting surface. Difficult to have the same backspacing, with different offset, on the same size wheel..... A 00 offset should be close to 5" backspacing....

If your truck aint lifted, your tires will most definitely rub. I have experienced that one first hand. I know at least 305s will rub on an 8 in rim, i would hate to see the rub on a 10 in one.
