Default anyone know the minimum backspacing?

found a set of torque thrusts thats on an 80's g body.owner says he thinks they have 4 inches of backspacing.will they fit on a 98-02 f body? i was thinking the f bodies need more backspacing than that.

A g body uses 4-4.5 of backspace. They're gonna stick out and look like ****. 8" wide wheel is gonna need 5.5" and a 10" 7.5".

Sorry I have no clue what the backspacing is but the rears are 17x11 with a 315 tire, and the front is a 17x9 with a 275 tire. I took the rear bumpstops off because I was told I had to, but I wish I hadn't.
