Question backspacing question

i found a guy wanting to sell weld prostar xp rims with m/t et streets anyway the rims are 16x8 and he said they have 4.625 bs. my question is would this cause a problem fitting on a 99 camaro (not go on due to calipers)(or stick out to far from car) also ive read that the xp's are made to fit with bigger calpiers.
also the tires are 26x11.5x16

they will stick out to far I have some 15 x 7 centerline rime with like 5 inch backspacing and they stick out way to much. I am curently buying some 15 x 10 welds with 7.5 bs so they don't sick out well thats my opinion or maybe just try them on your car before you buy them good luck man
