A good rule of thumb is....

On an 8 inch wheel, it takes 4 1/4 inch backspace to tuck the wheel under the truck to be able to lower it deeply.

Your wheel with the 3 3/4 backspace will fit about flush with the edge of the fenders. They will look great on a stock height truck, as long as lowering plans aren't in your future.
