Default 15x10 wheel offset

So time has come for some new tires and I decided to go with 15x10 wheels. Since the used market sucks here, I'm thinking that I jumped the gun this weekend.

The wheels are 4" back spacing and measure at 4" 1/4 wider than the stock wheels on the truck. I don't have tires yet but it looked really wide, little more than what I was planning.

Is this going to work or it's going to be too wide?

Thanks

Probably going to rub onto your control arms... Being 4x4 and a 2" lift it might something you can live with though, I'm not completely sure.

It's already rubbing on the control arm with 285/75 on stock wheels at full turn.

well your stock 16x7" have 5" backspacing, so if your new rims have less than that, your golden. 4" backspacing on your new rims (opposed to 5" on factory rims) will give you 1" more distance from your tire to control arm at lock, (roughly). Im no expert, but I believe you will be okay.
