Default BFH on 10.5"

I am looking at the TTMs from American Racing, and noticed that they are a 10.5" on a 44mm (or 46 is it?) offset. My question is, I know with the 17x11 ZR1 with a +50mm offset, BFH is required in many if not all applications. Now, would a 10.5" with ~4-6mm less offset require as much/if any? I don't think it's far enough out to be an issue with rolling the fender, even with a 315 on it. Anyone with these wheels have any insight as to what I'm in for? Thank you.

If it would need any it would be VERY minor. My old 56 mm offest 10.5's needed only a little BFH.

I have the 10.5 on my rear with 315's and I didn't have to do anything. Just make sure you jack the car's rear up from underneath. if you do a whole car lift, the rear suspension sags and the tires don't go on cause they hit the bump stop. that is the only issue you will have.

I would think that you would have to roll the fenders before BFH with a 46mm offset. I have 50mm (58mm w/ a 5/16" spacer)and there is plenty of room between the tire and the wheel well. The rim comes DAMN close to the bumpstop though. Im running a 295-35-18 BFG KDW2 in the rear.
